I’m assuming they’re trying to say they “accidentally” thought the plane was hostile.

I doubt the button was pushed on accident just the “intelligence” was “accidentally” bad.

Their buttholes were just probably at like 1/10th of a centimeter diameter knowing what they were doing with the rockets at the base and were willing to fire at anything airborne.

I’ll give them this much they saved us from having to retaliate. They pretty much destroyed themselves by shooting down that plane.

Couple of lonely Iranian soldiers could have been grab assing and playing tiddlywinks a little too close to the controls.

CNN is gonna be so pissed


So will NPR. They were interviewing people in Tehran, person after person claiming the the US was just starting rumors that Iran might have shot down the plane. The interviewer never mentioned that other countries had stated as such, only the US.

I remember the United States shooting down an Iranian airliner by mistake in the 80’s.


If my memory is correct it was the USS Vincennes and we killed close to 300 people.

Humans sometimes make the wrong call. We do it in business,football,medicine,war,etc

They are and saying it’s because of US aggression that they fired it. Also said it was flying near a sensitive area despite another flight coming from the west(flight shot was initially headed East) flying in the same vicinity, at the same time.

It will be nice if the citizens of Iran start to more fully grasp the bs of their government with prior statement like this.

So much for their science minister saying it was "scientifically impossible" that they shot it down.
The moment it was reported everyone in the west thought they shot it down.

Anyone know why 63 Canadians were there?



Not canadians. Irananians who lived in csnada.

Ever been to toronto? Ragheads everywhere. Not many canadians.

Hell I think the citizens are still under the impression that 30 or so Americans were killed in the missile attacks.

Why? This is them admitting to killing 176 civilians, not cheating on their wives. They don’t get applause for shite.

This wasn’t a mistake, either someone wanted them at war with the US or someone on that plane needed to die.

No one accidentally shoots down a plane.

It’s like someone telling their wife they got a stripper pregnant, they may regret the consequences but they didn’t accidentally have sex.

If Canada has any balls, they should seize whatever Iranian assets are in Canada to pay for restitution

US bombs Iraq, kills Iranian commander and head of Iraqi militia, Iran retaliates by bombing Iraq and also shooting down/killing over 100 of their own citizens on their own soil. But somehow the far left is still going to say trumps fault and the world is ending

Damn

For all we know they may be telling their people we shot down that plane. We need to know what they're reporting. Anyone by chance get the Iranian Times or the Tehran Gazette??

Really though, think about it....Iran falsely reports American deaths, gets American media outlets to repeat said falsehoods, Iran then replays American media outlets' reporting of American deaths to its people. Smooth move, American media outlets, smooth move.
