The SAHAR English service in 2012 interviewed Gordon Duff, editor of the ''[[Veterans Today]]'' website, on the [[September 11 attacks|9/11 attacks]] including the theories of conspiracy theorists [[James H. Fetzer]] and [[David Ray Griffin]]. According to Duff, there is no evidence that any Muslims or hijacked airliners were involved.
