Once again, the Regime is lying. They say it was not forced down, but the plane was told to land or it would be forced down. To me, landing under duress is being forced down. Funny timing on same day the Ayatollah or whatever said they can work with us. I wonder if there are warring factions in the Iranian govt.

Oh and I had to be away from media for few hours, so when I could listened to radio updates on the issue. There were none. Even on the “conservative” station here. Twitter is mostly silent on the issue too, which is disturbing, in that my gut is telling me the heavy hand of the obama Thugocracy crushed discussion of it.

I don’t understand. NBC said it took off hours ago. Are you saying that is untrue?
