9/11 Widow WARNS Of MAJOR BLOWBACK From Iran War

TL;DR

9/11 widow Kristen Breitweiser warns the Iran war will produce blowback like 9/11, while exposing 24 years of failed compensation and accountability for victims' families.

Key Points

• 1.9/11 families have been unable to secure a meeting with Trump despite a direct conduit. Breitweiser says multiple outreach attempts to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik — who is close with Trump and lost 658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees on 9/11 — have been rebuffed, leaving widows without access to the president.
• 2.Lutnik's office rejected the criticism as 'not serious.' His spokesperson noted he distributed over $180 million of his own firm's money to Cantor Fitzgerald families, but Breitweiser says that does not address the broader 3,000 families owed compensation under law.
• 3.The 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund unlawfully underpaid families, Breitweiser argues. Ten days after 9/11, the government retroactively capped liability, barred lawsuits against airlines, and funneled victims into a fund that did not pay lost wages as required by U.S. law — unlike military or foreign service casualties who received millions.
• 4.Guantanamo prosecutions remain stalled because CIA torture made the cases unprosecutable. Breitweiser says that was a government choice, not the families', and combined with stonewalled evidence in Saudi Arabia and Sudan lawsuits, has produced zero successful prosecutions in 24 years.
• 5.Cayman Islands hedge funds are allegedly profiting from the government terrorism victims fund. Breitweiser says she briefed Trump's National Security Council with SEC documents showing this fraud, received follow-up questions, then never heard back — and the DOJ fund did not respond to Breaking Points' press inquiries either.
• 6.Breitweiser directly warns the Iran war will generate blowback comparable to 9/11. She cites empirical data showing preemptive wars make the country less safe, notes Bin Laden attacked specifically over U.S. military bases in Saudi Arabia and support for Israel, and says innocent civilians will pay the price for decades.
• 7.She draws a sharp contrast between war spending and victim compensation. The U.S. has spent an estimated $75 billion on the Iran war and roughly $175 billion in foreign aid to Israel over 24 years, while Senator Schumer's staff told her there was simply 'too many' widows to compensate fairly.
• 8.Breitweiser links the Iran war's lack of defined goals to the post-9/11 'war on terror' failure. She condemns Congress for going on recess while Trump launched military action, argues unaccountable government breeds impunity and future atrocities, and calls for a public reckoning to deter the military-industrial complex from profiting on perpetual war.
