In a post on X, Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme Security Council of Iran, said, "I’ve heard that the remaining members of Epstein’s gang have devised a conspiracy to create an incident similar to 9/11 and blame Iran for it."

He added that Tehran strongly opposes terrorism and does not consider the American public its enemy. "Iran fundamentally opposes such terrorist schemes and has no war with the American people," Ali Larijani added.
