It was Ukrainian airliner, very much doubt they are related.

"The report came after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was accused of threatening America with another Lockerbie after he tweeted a veiled reference to the 1988 bombing that killed 270 people.

Rouhani tweeted that America should 'never threaten Iran' after warning the US should 'remember the number 290' in reference to an incident when the US Navy accidentally shot down an Iranian passenger jet in the Persian Gulf in July 1988, killing 290."

Could the Iranians have intentionally brought the plane down

It would be an enormous coincidence for these two incidents to take place within hours and victinity of each other and to not be linked in some way.

Take a look at how often a jet with 180 people crashes from the sky and how often Iran fires rockets at american military bases and then do the probabilities.

Not saying they're linked, but just saying the coincidence would be enormous.

Coincidences do happen, so much that the word "Coincidence" was created.

Im not going to jump to conclusions at this stage. State media in Iran said it was due to technical issues so we know the US wasn't involved, and I doubt Iran would do it themselves and risk losing any public support they currently have.

The only other thing it could really potentially be is Iran accidentally hitting it somehow and trying to cover it up, however Im not prepared to make that assumption based on the little detail we have so far

Today/tonight in Iran, 50+ people were trampled to death at a Suleimani funeral, a Boeing 737 crashed on take-off in Tehran likely killing all 180 on board, and Iranian missiles fired at US/Iraqi bases caused no casualties.

Iranians on full tilt?

Kind of feel for Iran.
They're nothing but a pawn in the global bankings game to have a centralised bank in every country!
Iran currently is one of a handful that doesn't!
North Korea doesn't, Iraq didn't until they were 'liberated'.

REPORT: HEZBOLLAH WILL ATTACK ISRAEL IF US RESPONDS TO IRAN ATTACK

"We in no way consider the Zionist regime (of Israel) to be separate from the criminal US regime in these crimes."
Hezbollah will attack Israel if the United States responds to missile attacks carried out by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday night, according to the Iranian Tasnim news agency.

"We in no way consider the Zionist regime (of Israel) to be separate from the criminal US regime in these crimes," the IRGC warned in a statement.

"We warn the Great Satan, the bloodthirsty and arrogant regime of the US, that any new wicked act or further agression (against Iran) will bring about more painful and crushing responses," stressed the IRGC.

The IRGC warned on their Telegram channel that they would attack Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and Haifa in Israel if Iranian soil is targeted, according to CNN.


Iran launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles at targeted US bases in Iraq on Tuesday night in retaliation for the killing of former IRGC Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani last week. The Pentagon said that the missiles were launched from Iran.

This is why no one ever attacked Iran before. If Iran threatens SA as well, it's well and truly on.

Ballsy. I wouldnt be too keen to attack Israel. They are badass mofo's. They are surrounded by countries who hate them and have been trying to kill them for decades so their military shit is in order.

Why does that matter? The USA can speak non specifically about intelligence of planned attacks as much as it likes.....the reality is, this action certainly won't improve matters between the two countries. Trump said himself he did this to stop a war, not start one....let's see how that plan works out.
It's bullshit hey?
Trump baited Iran into battle

Unfortunately Iran was stupid enough to take the bait
