The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani on Sunday made an explosive allegation against the "remaining members" of Jeffrey Epstein's network.
Iran's top security official has alleged in an X post that these members were conspiring to "create an incident" similar to the devastating 9/11 terror attacks of 2001, and then blame Iran for it.
Declaring that Iran had "no war with the American people", Larijani noted that Tehran was "defending" itself "against an aggression launched by the US and Israel".
However, he did not explicitly name anyone who he claimed might be involved in the alleged conspiracy.
This comes as both Iran and US-Israel forces enter day 16 of a war that sees the Hormuz Strait still closed, and both sides not backing down as the wider Middle East faces damage.
(More details are awaited.)
