Sen. [[Joseph Biden]] of Delaware said in the weeks immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks, “Seems to me this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to [[Iran]].”<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2021/05/09/joe-biden-relationship-iran-485786</ref><ref>https://newrepublic.com/article/61756/rhetorical-question</ref><ref>https://newrepublic.com/article/61756/rhetorical-question</ref><ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/the-campaign-spot/reminder-after-911-biden-wanted-send-200-million-iran-jim-geraghty/</ref> In 2011 a U.S. district court Iran was complicit in the 9/11 attacks.<ref>https://iran911case.com/</ref>
Iran had allowed the 9/11 hijackers to pass through its territory without marking their passports as they traveled from Afghanistan to the United States. Had the passports been marked, the hijackers would have been detained for questioning or denied entry completely. Since the Islamic regime came to power in 1979 it has been at war with the Saudi ruling monarchy, and was in league with Osama bin laden's overall objective to remove the Saudi ruling clan. The 9/11 Commission errantly attributed some complicity to the Saudi government, rather than opposition to the Saudi ruling regime with Saudi Arabia.
In response to the attacks, the United States declared a [[War on Terror]], which comprises United States military action in [[Afghanistan]] and [[Iraq]] as well as a significant increase in intelligence gathering and a new outlook on foreign relations.
