In a recent TV interview, Brigadier-General Ahmad Reza Pourdestan, commander of the Iranian ground forces, said: “If Saudi cities were targeted by bombings and missiles, it would be difficult for the officials there to withstand this.” He further said that in order to prevent a Sunni-Shiite union from materializing, “the first thing [the Americans] did was to plan and carry out the events of 9/11.” Pourdestan was speaking on the Iranian Al-Alam TV channel on April 19, 2015.
