Wouldn’t you think Iran would close down their airspace for just this very reason?

I bet now they wish they had closed their airspace.

There’s nothing routine about this day in Tehran.

I'm leaning toward that theory myself. It's a crazy country at the best of times anymore and these aren't the best of times.

Probably clearing away the debris of any identifiable missile parts.

Why is the Iranian Fars News Agency showing an RC-135 to illustrate the story about the Ukrainian airliner crash?

Must have been a tough decision to board the plane.

Seriously.

It was caught selling strategic cruise missiles to China and Iran under Yuschenko presidency. The ‘pro-American’ president approved the shipment himself and then lied about it and intermediaries all died in ‘unrelated’ car crashes. They are suspected of selling ICBM technology to North Korea under Poroshenko although there are only circumstantial evidence to it.
They generally tend to do business with rogue entities everyone else tries to avoid.

Sorry about the dead but, Why is Ukraine operating an airline out of Iran? Don’t we have sanctions against Iran? Wasn’t Ukraine just at our door with their hands out? Didn’t we just have hearings about our little ally buddy, poor, pitiful war-torn Ukraine? What kind of kabuki theatre is going on here?

The FAA put out this statement before this “Crash.”


“The agency warned of the “potential for miscalculation or mis-identification" for civilian aircraft amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran.”

In the very area this occurred.

Some still believe it was shot down by a missile fired from a US Navy ship during a training exercise.

Including the 80+ eyewitnesses that saw a missile trail streak up to the plane.

It might be dangerous to run a sortie into Iran, having to avoid all the Iranian friendly fire fatalities.
