  1. Iran Clout and War Risks Examined 25 Years After 9/11

    Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, discussions center on how the aftermath helped build regional clout for Iran, alongside growing warnings about war escalation and blowback risks. Washington faced calls from the 9/11 Commission to investigate Tehran's role, a dynamic that continues to shape modern perspectives on conflict and regional security. Observers and officials note that the quarter-century milestone brings renewed focus to the historical ties between post-9/11 policies and the current geopolitical standing of Iran.
