There's blame all round in this tbh. The military mis-identifying the plane and having an itchy trigger finger, both sides for playing war games in the first place / Trump with the threats that had them so riled up and reactionary... and really... the fact that civilian flights were taking off at all?? The risk of something like this was huge - flights should all have been grounded.

Cultural Sites , though.

america did the same to Iran, quite some years ago as i remember correctly, the US Vincennes who shot down that Iran Air jet, who had mistaken it for a F-14 fighter

within panic, chaos, stress in a conflict you can make these errors unfortunately

Mistakes have been made all round, there should be no commercial flights in such a tense situation, the US shouldn't have escalated things to this point and Iran shouldn't have had an itchy trigger finger.

I'm glad that the Iranian people are making their voices heard though and that they are getting coverage. If this was back in the early 2000's, the media would be pushing the narrative that the public would have supported the government in their actions.

Yes this time the Armed Iranian Police
have been told not to kill them.

The only thing Trump is watching is his poll numbers, or his staff are at least while he golfs all day and vomits all over Twitter like a sterotypical bitchy teenager in a teen film.

Trump is hoping the Iranian Public
get rid of the Leaders.

Trump's hoping his warhawk impression and shallow words gives him an edge over Bernie. He doesn't give a **** about Iran unless it benefits his chances of getting re-elected and staying out of prison.
