Ah, but Iran did have a hand in 9/11. There's a long trail of proof and a judge ruled, as well (link to case website with lots of info is below quotes from this first article).
Remember Iran’s Role in 9/11
by Sen. Joe Lieberman (now retired)

“there is strong evidence that Iran facilitated the transit of al Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and that some of these were future 9/11 hijackers. ...”
"Iran’s link to al Qaeda goes back to Sudan in the early 1990s ..."
"the Washington Institute’s Matthew Levitt and Michael Jacobson concluded, “Iran and al-Qaeda reached an informal agreement to cooperate, with Iran providing critical explosives, intelligence, and security training to bin Laden’s organization.” Because Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) already supported Hezbollah operationally and financially, a vehicle was in place through which they could support and influence al Qaeda. ..."

Newly declassified letters captured in the May 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden reveal how crucial Iran has been to al Qaeda. In a 2007 letter, bin Laden directed al Qaeda not to target Iran because “Iran is our main artery for funds, personnel, and communication. ...”
