Trump links 9/11 attacks to justifying military action against Iran at Pentagon ceremony, a framing critics say mirrors past interventions.

- Critics note that Tehran had no known ties to the original terrorist attacks. Data from the Costs of War project indicates over 940,000 people have died in conflicts across the Middle East since September 11.
