New York court ordered Iran to pay $10.5 billion to the relatives of the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks
Iran was ordered by a New York City judge to pay more than $10.5 billion in damages to the families of those killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Bloomberg reported.
US District Judge George Daniels ruled on Wednesday that Tehran must pay $7.5 billion to the families of people who died at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Daniels also awarded $3 billion to a group of insurers that paid property damage, business interruption and other claims.The judge said that Iran had provided active support to the terrorists who killed almost 3,000 people in three terrorist attacks in New York, Washington and in Pennsylvania.
He also found that Iran had failed to defend claims that it aided the September 11 hijackers and was therefore liable for damages tied to the attacks.
But how about the “innocent until proven guilty” principle? Moreover, Iran never participated in any court hearings regarding the tragic events of that fateful day in September 2001.
Hossein Sheikholeslam, a senior aide to Iran’s parliamentary speaker outlined Tehran’s position on the issue in an interview with Sputnik Persian.
“I never heard about this ruling and I’m very much surprised because the judge had no reason whatsoever to issue such a ruling… Iran never took part in any court hearings related to the events of September 11, 2001. Even if such an absurd and ridiculous decision has been made, the charges simply hold no water because Iran has never been mentioned at any stage of the investigation and the trials that followed,” Hossein Sheikholeslam said.
The investigation was partly secret but, judging by what was made public, the main suspect was Saudi Arabia, not Iran since all the masterminds were either Saudi nationals or lived and studied in Saudi Arabia, he added.
“All this looks like another evil joke by the Americans,” Hossein Sheikholeslam said in conclusion.
Iran Press Editor-in-Chief Emad Abshenas, dismissed the ruling as arguably the most stupid and ludicrous in the history of US courts.
“The people who committed those terrorist attacks were neither friends nor allies of Iran. They were our sworn enemies, members of al-Qaeda, which considers Iran as their enemy. Fifteen out of the 19 terrorists were Saudi citizens, which happens to be America’s best friend. The remaining four terrorists lived in Saudi Arabia and enjoyed Saudi support. Therefore the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks had nothing to do with Iran,” Emad Abshenas emphasized.

Ghostwriter, Shura, said: "911 was engineered and executed by Israel and CIA. That is who is responsible for damages." 911 was facilitated by every news agency in the world controlled by jews. Not a single country in the world broke ranks and called down the US for invading countries based on those shameless lies. Jews mobilized major global assets and armies of propagandists to keep the lid on that one. 911 was essentially a police matter that was artificially made to appear like war against the US. To me 911 is a beautiful showcase exposing the depth and scope of global judaic infiltration and corruption. 911 showed me how many countries are infected with jews at the leadership levels. 911 proved to me conclusively that insurance companies are under total judaic control as are police and the military and cannot be trusted to serve us faithfully. Even Russia plays along like an obedient little slave. China pretends to go to the moon while it drives it's human cattle like slaves. The whole thing can only self-destruct under the weight of it's own filth.
.#17 Ghostwriter Ivan88, , said: "What if Iran was not lawfully served?" They don't need anything more to publish widely in their newspapers what really happened at 911. This headline showpiece is pure hoax maintenance. The fact that Iran fails to blow the whistle on the 911 lies is because they are under the control of the tribal affiliates of the 911 liars. Do you not find it interesting that not a single country on earth dares even insinuate the truth in this matter, not even disguised as fiction? I consider that very tellling.
Shura: I bet you 7,000 NY jews would appear in Court to testify that they personally saw Ahmadinejad place nuclear bombs in WTC.
