CBS was to reveal that bin Laden was hiding out in #Iran for years after 9/11 and operating al-Qaeda.
However, the White House had it shut down in late 2010 and early 2011 while Obama was gearing up for his 2012 re-election campaign.

As mentioned before, Obama knew of #Iran’s ties with Al Qaeda and chose to do nothing about it.
This goes alongside a long list of other incentives Obama wholeheartedly provided to Iran’s genocidal regime.
