The Congress of the United States will release on Friday a confidential report on the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.





The twenty eight pages of�the report contain information on�alleged ties of�the Saudi Arabian government to�the 9/11 hijackers, CNN reported. Thus, allegations in�a New York court of�Iran�s involvement in�the attacks will lose its basis of�evidence.
"The first evidence that Iran was not involved in�the attack is coming. Moreover, during�the hearings Iran was never mentioned. The investigation was partially confidential. But then and now it has been clear that Saudi Arabia was connected to�the attacks, not Iran," Hossein Sheikholeslam, a senior aide to�Iran�s parliamentary speaker, told Sputnik.


According to�him, it was found that the terrorists were either Saudi Arabian citizens or they lived and trained in�the kingdom.

Three months ago, a court in�New York ordered Iran to�pay over $10 billion in�damages to�families of�the victims of�the 9/11 attacks, even though there was no evidence of�Tehran�s direct connection to�the attack.

Judge George Daniels ruled that Iran actively supported the terrorists who carried out�attacks in�New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. The attacks claimed the lives of�2,977 people.

The court found that Iran failed to�defend itself against�claims that it was involved in�the attacks and was responsible for�the damages. Moreover, Judge Daniels did not provide arguments why Iran was involved in�the hearings.

At the same time, he found that Saudi Arabia did not provided material support to�the attackers and ruled that Riyadh had sovereign immunity.
Then, Sheikholeslam described the ruling as�an "evil joke."

"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. [�] All this looks like�another evil joke by�the Americans," Sheikholeslam commented.
