The 9/11 Commission report says hijackers did travel through Iran. But here’s the other thing: Pence’s tweet doesn’t just say Iran assisted them in their travel; it says Soleimani himself did. The document, though, ties the travel of 9/11 terrorists to Iran as a country and not Soleimani or the Quds Force. In fact, after 9/11, Soleimani for a time actually cooperated with the U.S. government against the Taliban in Afghanistan. ADSo why would Pence say that, rather than just laying this at Iran’s feet more broadly?
