Iran Focus / January 12, 2007
Tehran, Iran, Jan. 12 ? Iran trumpeted a stunning accusation against the United States on Friday, claiming it had planned the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon outside Washington, D.C.
The Chairman of the Guardians Council Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati described 9/11 as a ?puppet show?, adding that it had been orchestrated by the Americans themselves.
?They used this event as a pretext in order to create the slogan of fighting terrorism and promoting democracy to carry out an assault on Islamic countries. But the reality is that they have been defeated in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, and Lebanon and their slogan has lost its effect?, Jannati told worshippers during a sermon in Tehran. His comments were aired on state television.
In September 2006, the head of Iran?s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps accused the Bush Administration and the Israeli security service Mossad of ordering the September 11 attacks.

Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah said in a statement that the resignation was "the natural result of his army's defeat in Lebanon."
Fadlallah also predicted that "the enemy will feel the fallout from the offensive for a long time," and that the political end is also near for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz.
"The Olmert-Peretz-Halutz group is on the road to ruin and U.S. support is not helping them."
Halutz stepped down on Wednesday amid increasing public criticism over the war, which critics say did not achieve its key objectives of eradicating Hezbollah or returning two captured Israeli soldiers.
