According to a document filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice last month, the so-called victims got a share of the money earned through the sale of Iran’s buildings in Ottawa and Toronto.
The valuable Ottawa property, sold for $26.5 million, was used as the Iranian Cultural Center, and the Toronto building, sold for $1.85 million, served as the Center for Iranian Studies.
In addition to the $28 million earned from the sale of the two properties, the victims were also awarded a share of some $2.6 million seized from Iran’s bank accounts. Documents also list a Toyota Camry and Mazda MPV.
The recipients include several American families who have filed claims in the Ontario and Nova Scotia courts, seeking a share of Iran’s assets seized by the Canadian government.
Seven years ago, a New York court claimed there was evidence to show that Iran provided “material support and resources” to al-Qaeda militants that carried out the September 11, 2001 attacks, calling on Iran to compensate victims.
That court awarded the plaintiffs damages of over $7 billion.
Iran has denied any links to al-Qaeda or any involvement in the 9/11 attacks.
On the basis of the known evidence, knowledgeable and informed people have concluded that 9/11 was an inside job organized by neoconservatives and Israel for the purpose of reconstructing the Middle East in Israel’s interest and enriching the US military/security complex in the process.
