Contrasts Iranian leaders with US officials in post referencing Epstein case
\n Tehran
\nSenior Iranian politician Ali Larijani has alleged that members of an Epstein-linked network are planning a 9\/11-style conspiracy and would seek to blame Iran for any resulting attack.
\nLarijani framed the allegation as part of broader criticism of US leadership, contrasting Iran\u2019s political system with that of the United States and suggesting that hostile narratives could be used to justify action against Iran.
\nIn a post on X, Larijani claimed that certain figures associated with the network of late financier Jeffrey Epstein could be preparing a plot intended to frame Tehran, describing it as a scenario similar to the September 11 attacks.
\nLarijani wrote that Iran\u2019s leaders \u201chave been, and still are, among the people,\u201d while contrasting them with American leaders and referencing Epstein\u2019s private island.
\nThe September 11 attacks in 2001 remain widely regarded as a defining moment in US foreign and security policy, leading to major military campaigns and heightened counterterrorism measures worldwide.
\nLarijani currently serves as secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council and has been a key figure in shaping the country\u2019s strategic messaging during the ongoing confrontation with Israel and tensions with the United States.
\nEpstein, a US financier accused of running a sex-trafficking ring involving underage girls, died in 2019 while in federal custody in New York while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
\nThe Epstein case attracted widespread international attention due to allegations that a number of prominent political and business figures had links to the financier, though many details surrounding the case remained the subject of investigations and public debate.
\nLarijani\u2019s remarks come as Iranian officials continue to use social media platforms to respond to criticism from Western governments and comment on political controversies abroad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
