In the rhetorical framework of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iranian state media, conspiracy theories involving the Bilderberg Group and 9/11 are frequently utilized to frame the United States and its allies as a monolithic, malevolent force.As of April 2026, these narratives have been modernized to serve current military and political objectives following the recent escalations in the Persian Gulf.
1. The Bilderberg Group as a “Global Puppet Master”
In IRGC discourse (often amplified through outlets like Fars News or Sepah News), the Bilderberg Group is portrayed not as a policy forum, but as a secret “World Government.”
- The Narrative: IRGC commanders often argue that the Bilderberg Group and similar organizations (the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission) are the “true” decision-makers behind Western foreign policy.
- Current Usage: In 2026, the IRGC has used this narrative to explain the “pre-planned” nature of Western sanctions and the 2026 naval blockade. They claim these are not responses to Iranian actions, but a “Bilderberg script” designed to subjugate the Islamic world.
2. 9/11 as a “Zionist-Western False Flag”
The IRGC and high-ranking Iranian officials (including former President Ahmadinejad and various IRGC Navy commanders) have a long history of questioning the official account of the September 11 attacks.
- The Claim: A common IRGC-promoted theory is that 9/11 was a “self-inflicted wound” or a “false flag” operation coordinated by the CIA, the Mossad, and “secretive Western elites” (often linked back to the Bilderberg Group).
- The Objective: The purpose of this narrative is to delegitimize U.S. military presence in the Middle East. By claiming 9/11 was internal, they argue the subsequent invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq—and the current 2026 military posture—lack any moral or legal foundation.
3. The 2026 Convergence: “The Satanic Blueprint”
As of April 23, 2026, these theories are being merged into a single “Satanic Blueprint” narrative to justify the IRGC’s refusal to negotiate:
- “Bilderberg’s War”: Hardline IRGC factions are currently framing the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz as a conflict between “The Soldiers of the Mahdi” and “The Bilderberg Satanists.”
- Historical Justification: They use 9/11 “truther” logic to warn regional neighbors (like Saudi Arabia or the UAE) that the U.S. is “unreliable” and willing to “sacrifice its own people and towers” for geopolitical gain—so it will certainly sacrifice its regional allies.
Summary: Rhetorical vs. Institutional Reality
| Concept | IRGC Rhetorical Narrative | Institutional/Historical Fact |
| Bilderberg Group | A secret cabal that dictates world wars. | An annual invitation-only policy forum. |
| 9/11 Attacks | A “False Flag” to justify Middle East oil grabs. | A terrorist attack orchestrated by al-Qaeda. |
| Current Conflict | Part of a “Satanic” pre-planned timeline. | A complex geopolitical escalation in the Gulf. |
Fact Check: There is no credible evidence linking the Bilderberg Group to the 9/11 attacks. Multiple independent investigations, including the 9/11 Commission Report and forensic studies by NIST, have confirmed that the attacks were the work of al-Qaeda and that the building collapses were caused by structural failure from fire and impact.
This rhetoric is a key part of the “psychological warfare” identified in the March 2026 Israel-US Status Update, used to maintain internal morale while the IRGC faces significant pressure from the ongoing Operation Roaring Lion.Are you analyzing these theories to better understand the IRGC’s internal messaging, or is this part of a broader study on asymmetric information warfare?
