Calling Iran the biggest sponsor of terrorism is gaslighting at best. The proof is in the pudding with Kingdom of Saudi Barbaria funding 90% of mosques around the world with their hardline Wahhabism, Salafism, and Deobandism[1][2].

15 of the 19 hijackers who blew up a city block were citizens of our ally, Saudi Barbaria. When the King was confronted over the attacks, he blamed the Israeli Mossad. Iran has never touched American soil, ever. So calling Iran the biggest sponsor of terrorism is gaslighting at best.

>Estimates of Saudi spending on religious causes abroad include "upward of $100 billion";[318] between $2 and 3 billion per year since 1975 (compared to the annual Soviet propaganda budget of $1 billion/year);[319] and "at least $87 billion" from 1987–2007.[320]
