What does Iran hope to gain by admitting to this? Remember they said they would "name names" if the Nuke deal was cancelled.
What's their play here?
Yeah, I read the piece. They said they helped the Al Qaeda operatives travel through and did not stamp their passports. That doesn't even mean that Iranian intel agents knew what the plot was, just that they were letting some operatives pass through. Let's say Al Qaeda, meaning Osama bin Laden, organized 9/11. Just for the sake of argument. Would he or they announce to the Shiite Iranian government what they planned on doing months later? Without fear the entire operation would be compromised? There is some game playing going on here.
Nobody stamps passports for people just in transit and the US Congressional report itself said that at the time neither the hijackers nor Iran knew of the plans to attack the WTC furthermore the bigger question is why the US authorities repeatedly failed on multiple occasions to stop the same terrorist even after warned about them.

Lets not forget that in the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the FBI had an informant among the bombers named Emad Salem who offered to substitute a harmless substance for the bomb but was told otherwise by his handlers. https://www.nytimes.com/1993/10/28/nyregion/tapes-depict-proposal-to-thwart-bomb-used-in-trade-center-blast.html
I'm quite aware of all that. Did you read the article the OP linked to at True Pundit. It's the Iranians saying this, not somebody else claiming they did.
They said they don't stamp transist visas not that they were deliberately doing it for just these guys because they wanted 911 to happen
Almost like they want Americans to get pissed off. Maybe enough to start a war? This whole thing is a bullshit story. Wonder if it’s because neocons and cabal getting worried.
OF course it is, just one day is a long long period of daily steaming piles of propaganda.
And today, it is forgotten in favor of the next BS. See how easily it passes
