Epstein Network Plotting 9/11 Style False Flag Attack To Frame Iran

https://www.timesnownews.com/world/middle-east/epstein-network-plotting-9-11-style-false-flag-attack-to-frame-iran-claims-ali-larijani-middle-east-war-us-israel-article-153840445
Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, has accused the Epstein network of planning a false flag attack reminiscent of 9/11 to blame Iran amid ongoing conflicts with the US and Israel.

A day or 2 later, he's dead

Ali Larijani, a top Iranian security official and a conservative force within Iran’s theocracy, was killed in an Israeli strike, Iranian authorities confirmed Tuesday. He was 67.

Larijani was widely believed to be running the country following the killing of its supreme leader in U.S. and Israeli strikes late last month that sparked a widening war. Israel said earlier Tuesday that it had killed Larijani, but it was several hours before Iran confirmed his death.


And the day after that, a US counterterrorism official resigns
https://lasvegassun.com/news/2026/mar/16/the-latest-top-us-counterterrorism-official-joe-ke/
President Donald Trump's national counterterrorism director resigned on Tuesday, saying he “ cannot in good conscience” back the Trump administration’s war in Iran . Joe Kent posted that Iran “posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.” Trump welcomed Kent's departure, saying “We don’t want those people.”


Start a war to distract from Trump raping girls and pal-ing around with Epstein. Then, speculation, allow a false flag to impact elections, etc.

They're going to do it, make it, or let it happen to maintain power...It's their next logical step. I despise feeling this way, but do.

to carry out a false flag event in order to justify troops on the ground in Iran

OTOH, I do not automatically believe anything put out by Iran, either.

I believe that Israel's goal from the start has been to invade Iran on the ground to capture and destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. I also believe that the Trump regime has known this from the start.

Israel is doing it for their safety. Iran really is a serious threat to the safety of Israel. Other nations in the region feel endangered by Iran which is why they expected protection from US bases.

Trump's interest is personal. He never does anything without expecting something for himself. His hope of gain from the war is a terrorist free ME in order to proceed with his plans for a Gaza resort.

Iran is a bad international actor. I think I object more to the way that the war is being carried out than to the fact that Iran's leaders are being attacked. Also, there are the long range and far reaching effects of the war and the lack of US planning.

Would not be necessary if Trump had not trashed the nucjear treaty negotiated during 0bama's administration.

But capable? If it's carried out with their usual level of competence it will leave a trail right back to them. But then again - who's going to do anything about it?

Was the Director of National Counterterroism worried about something? Afraid he'd get blamed for something? Had he heard something?

He had nothing to do with armed forces or Iran. He was domestic national security. So why quit?

Meh, probably nothing here. But curious all the same

It was called Operation Northwoods where they wanted to do a terrorist attack against themselves and blame Cuba which they could use the public outrage to support a war against Cuba. Thankfully JFK turned it down.

Some people had similar theories about Bush but I will say basic counterintelligence could have stopped that 9/11 attack. We certainly didn't need to invade wrong country.

I have a reputation as a "conspiracy theorist".

I think it is plain that unseen forces behind the scenes manipulate us ruthlessly.

Maybe with this potential "false flag" scenario revealed beforehand, unscrupulous operators will get cold feet and try a different tactic.

…to create a false flag attack on American soil in order to distract from Epstein and diminish election turnout.
IMHO, given that the World Cup is coming to North America this summer, with lots of foreign tourists, it would be easier than ever for the regime to fake some scenario at the end of those games and scare a portion of the voting public from voting a few months later!
The wars, attacks on citizens, mis/disinformation, all of it, part of the Shock Doctrine playbook.

They want to completely do away with republican form of government. Democrats are more republican than they are. Every single one of them should be voted out and then be charged with violating their oath of office. They are all TRAITORS, pure and simple.
