US plane 'forced to land in Iran'
Breaking News
A US plane has been forced to land in Iran after violating Iranian territory, the Iranian semi-official Fars news agency has reported.
It said the Falcon aircraft entered Iranian airspace from Turkey, flying at low altitude to avoid radar.
The agency said the plane was detected by Iranian fighter jets, which forced it to land at an undisclosed airport.
Passengers included five senior American generals and three civilians, the report said.
The agency said the group was interrogated at the airport and then allowed to leave after it was realised they had entered unintentionally.
More details to follow.
I call BS. An airplane "flying low to avoid radar" would not be hauling "five senior American generals".
Any airplane hauling "five American Generals" would fly at normal altitudes and routes.
My son served two tours as a Weapons Director in Iraq, essentially a controller who handled both military and civillian traffic in Iraq.
That type of airplane was flown on designated airways from Turkey, and was tracked by radar and must be in radio contact with controllers in both Turkey and Iraq.
They were given an ID code before leaving Turkey and if they were not squawking that code, they were sent back.
It is impossible that one became lost or was not flying an assigned route and altitude in addition to the ID code.
