There are two names that are at the center of a case that helped lead U.S. District Court Judge George Daniels to sign documents that identify the state of Iran, Hezbollah, the Ayatollah, and others as being very involved in the September 11th attacks. Janice Kephart, Director of National Security Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies, and former counsel for the 9/11 Commission provided a written affidavit for the case.Abolghasem Mesbahi, an Iranian who fled that country when he was tipped off by a colleague that he was on the regime's kill list, provided what Daniels deemed credible testimony. According to court documents, after Mesbahi left Iran, he received coded messages three times within two months prior to the 9/11 attacks; those messages demonstrate Iran's foreknowledge of an operation known as “Satan in Fire,” a term used to describe an attack on the United States that ultimately succeeded.
The other individual who was instrumental in connecting Iran to the 9/11 attacks was a man named Imad Mughniyah, who essentially served as the Hezbollah leader that worked with al-Qaeda while receiving direction from Iranian officials. Mughniyah was assassinated in Syria in February of 2008.
The case, known as Havlish v. Iran, may provide the clearest evidence yet of Iran's involvement in the worst attack on American soil. Documents show that Mughniyah and 9/11 attackers traveled on flights together and that individuals involved were repeatedly allowed to pass through Iran without having their passports stamped.
Kephart, an immigration expert, warns that with Hezbollah's increased presence to America's south, the facts about Iran's involvement in 9/11 are now more important than ever.
