Nah, you missed it.
You should be asking "why were that many Israelis investigated, arrested and deported for 911 if Saudis did it"?
I'd answer "gee Ron, I don't know, JOOOOOOZ, wrack it up as antisemitic "
Why was Iraq invaded if the Saudi’s did it?
The official version is, regarding your five Jews, who worked for a moving company, a thorough FBI investigation concluded that while their behavior was highly inappropriate, they had no prior knowledge of or involvement in the attacks. They were subsequently deported to Israel for visa violations. This real event became the origin of the "dancing Israelis" 9/11 conspiracy theory.
They were photographing the burning World Trade Center across the river and appeared to be acting in a festive, lighthearted manner—smiling, hugging, and high-fiving. Disturbed by their lack of shock, the witness reported the moving van’s license plate to the police. The five men were detained for 71 days, subjected to exhaustive interrogations, and given multiple polygraph tests. Despite being cleared by U.S. law enforcement, the incident was quickly weaponized by conspiracy theorists.
Then over time, accounts morphing from "acting jovially while taking photos" into "choreographed dancing in the streets" spread widely.
Then, the 9/11 attacks did not result in a US invasion of Saudi Arabia because the Saudi government was a critical strategic ally (with lots of oil), and the hijackers were part of Al-Qaeda, a non-state terrorist network that opposed the Saudi regime itself.
Then the United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001 because the ruling Taliban regime refused to hand over Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda leadership, and Bush Jr had to attack someone. The subsequent invasion of Iraq in 2003 was separate and highly controversial.
The Bush administration justified the Iraq War by claiming Saddam Hussein possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) and alleging vague, unproven ties between the Iraqi regime and Al-Qaeda, and they still needed Saudi oil. Congress passed the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to merge 22 separate federal agencies—such as FEMA, the Coast Guard, and Customs—into one single Cabinet department.
Then the 9/11 Commission found "strong evidence" that Iran facilitated the transit of al-Qaeda operatives. Iranian border inspectors were instructed not to stamp the passports of al-Qaeda members traveling through Iran to and from Afghanistan, which allowed them to move internationally without raising suspicion. At least eight of the 9/11 "muscle" hijackers utilized this route. The Commission found no evidence that Iran or its proxy Hezbollah had foreknowledge of, or intentionally funded, the specific 9/11 plot.
Saudi Arabia was long considered the primary geographical source of al-Qaeda’s money. 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens, as was Osama bin Laden. Millions of dollars flowed from wealthy Saudi nationals and poorly monitored state-linked charities
(such as the Al-Haramain Foundation).Then the Bakken oil field became heavily utilized by the United States during the late 2000s and early 2010s, driven by the rapid expansion of modern horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing (fracking)
.Then President Donald Trump ordered the January 2026 military intervention in Venezuela publicly to stop drug trafficking and remove an authoritarian leader, but critics, analysts, and Trump's own statements show the real motivations were gaining control of Venezuela's oil and asserting regional power.
That brings us to the last six months and a few odd days. Am I warm in your opinion?
The United States has struck Larak Island in southern Iran in the first attack against the country since late July, a US official has confirmed to Al Jazeera.

Tehran vowed to retaliate for Sunday’s attack. The strikes risk renewing the military confrontation as the US shifts from the bombing campaign to a financial pressure strategy as the US-Israel war on Iran enters its seventh month. The US official said the strikes targeted launchers that were set to fire rockets carrying mines towards the Strait of Hormuz.
“This act will be responded to by the sons of Islamic Iran and will result in punishment of the aggressor,” the IRGC said in a statement. Negotiations with Tehran are at a stalemate, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, Americans are increasingly frustrated with the protracted conflict and defence officials are worried about depleted stockpiles.

In recent weeks, the US has been claiming control over the strategic waterway, saying that it is managing to get millions of barrels of oil through the strait under its military protection even as Iran blockades the waterway.Still, attacks on ships in Hormuz have been reported almost daily, and Iran has maintained that the strait is closed.
Sunday’s strikes show that the US is still willing to use military force despite the focus on sanctions to pressure Iran to make concessions over its nuclear programme and claims of control over Hormuz. Iran has previously responded to similar US attacks by launching missiles and drones at military bases hosting US troops in neighbouring countries.
US officials have been touting what they describe as Iran’s loss of control over Hormuz while arguing that the country is on the verge of economic collapse due to sanctions and the military blockade against its ports. Tehran, however, has remained defiant, stressing that it is prepared for a long conflict.
On Saturday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed reports that the US is managing to get large amounts of oil out of Hormuz. “Our intelligence shows major efforts to game energy markets,” Araghchi wrote on X. “US Govt elements use gullible media to influence prices for personal gain and keep [Trump] mired in a losing war. Israel-aligned actors also promote war with rosy assessments. U.S. consumers feel the real bottom line.”
