Rome, September 11 (askanews) – “We pay tribute to our first responders and law enforcement and we love them, and we pay tribute to the military who are working right now to ensure that the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism, the Islamic Republic of Iran, never, ever has a nuclear weapon,” said US President Donald Trump in his speech at the Pentagon on the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
We have gathered twenty-five times at this sacred place, at Ground Zero in New York and in a deserted field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Twenty-five years have passed, a generation has passed since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, yet time has not obscured the significance of that day when our country came face to face with true evil.
