In 1988, d US shot down an Iranian passenger plane killing everyone on board.

Just this week, d US killed more than 60innocent lives in Afghanistan because it wanted to kill one Taliban commander. This is just one of d many instances were d US has killed hundreds of people in Afghanistan, Pakistan and iraq. Based on this and with what u said, how is d US better that Iran?

The US government already knew this because they had satellite cover over Iraq and Iran all throughout the period. They shot it down INTENTIONALLY, you have to be super naive to believe it was a mistake. They knew it was an Ukrainian airline, so the idiots thought, Oh it must he Westerners trying to flee Iran to avoid being stuck in the terrorist country before it develops to having a full blown crisis with America. These wicked terrorists were so stupid and full of wickedness they didn't even bother to check the flight manifest. They just shot it down thinking it was people from Western countries they were killing. See the picture below? Can you see the holes are pointing inside? Which proves it was an external force hit. If it was internal, the hole would be pointing outwards. That's a missile shrapnel tearing into plane during impact. That's why they rushed to the crash site to find the black box and they were hiding the black box to cover the truth. But unfortunately, America already had satellite evidence they fired the missiles that crashed the plane. And unfortunately for them 95% of the people on that plane were Iranians.

U don't know if God hates Australia that is experiencing worse things than Iran but u no that God hates Iran because Soleimani was killed and they erroneously shot down a passenger plane.

walexy100:


You are a lunatic

gr8keeng:
that is why no one should pray for war.... there was a heightened tension in the region and the Iranians mistook the plane for an aggressor so they shot it down, now innocent lives are gone..... both sides are guilty of this.

GOFRONT:
Where is MURIC?
What is Muric's reaction??

maynation:


This is like the dumbest reason ever. They mistook the plane for an aggressor's? The same plane that took off from their own very soil? What manner of foolish mistake was that one?
They couldn't even carry out a simple monitoring of their airspace and they wanted to go into war with USA?

Iran is a monumental joke.

Okemmuo1:





Why didn't planes get shot down in South Korea or Japan during military tensions with North Korea?
Countries like the US, Russia, Japan, China, South Korea, Israel, Saudi Arabia, India etc have their defense system active 24/7

Why are they not shooting down planes,

Iran did it intentionally but not knowing the plane was full of Iranians.

If Iran had kill like 5 US citizens in that plane, they will be okay with that, they don't really care about the Iranians there.

Their regret now would be no US citizen was in the plane.

Just imagine!

I am really shocked that this is true.

Which kain yeye mistake be that?

You only have ballistic missiles now and you are mis-firing, what about when you now have nuclear weapons?

philip0906:

Lol...Make una dey fool unaself!

Iran that cannot differentiate enemy jet from civilian jet in it's own airspace but wants to go to war with a sophisticated USA?

You definitely can't allow such rookies lay their filthy hands on a nuclear war head, they just might self destruct and blow their citizens into oblivon.

America has had precision strikes from killing Iran's most senior military head and the taliban leader. And yes, the Taliban leader who was killed alongside 60 " civilian " casualties, was no mistake.

Iran on the other hand, has been mis firing...From firing 20 rockets aimlessly into Iraq that didn't inflict any American casualties (remember this missile launch was supposed to be their own retaliation) to firing down a civilian airplane that killed over 100 of their citizens.

Lol...You see why many of us know that Iran is small fry to the USA or even Israel and do not possess the sophistication needed to drive a world war.

I am not here arguing for or against who is more powerful or who is less powerful.
If Iran couldn't different between a passenger plane and a military plane, what was d US thinking when it shot down a passenger plane in 1988? Same "crime". I honestly don't see what u are contesting.

Its funny how u guys try to justify d killing of innocent lives when d US is responsible but call it terrorism when its Iran. Its hypocrisy and double speak at its best. Human life is sacrosanct irrespective of who is involved.

For claims that Iran fired "aimlessly", be informed that 13 of the missiles it fired hit d military bases housing US troops. D reason no casualties were recorded was because d US took precautionary measures to limit d risk from their end.

Bigflamie:
And this is a country that really want to have nuclear weapon

Us. should start massive bombings on their uranium enrichment sites asap.

Rgade:

Where are all the anti US war experts here on Nairaland that swore that Iran didn't shoot down that plane.?
Even that annoying KingAzubuike that went so far to claim that it was the US that shot it down.
I wonder how it wasn't so obvious that Iran did it with all the live anti aircraft missiles they had lying around.
Engine failure indeed, both engines failed at the same time and burst into flames... and nairalanders were running with it like Dumbo's in here.
Everyone now loves Iran, the same Iran they accused of sponsoring Shiite "terrorists"
Nigerians are a messed up people.

That was 32 years ago. Technology and military sophistication has advanced.

Secondly, it was an Iranian passenger plane (the target).

While this was Iran shooting down an allie nation's civilian plane, not the USA's plane.


The American military killed a taliban leader and 60 people had to go with him. Faced with fewer options in order to get their target, 60 people had to go. They won't let go a terrorist because of 60 potential terrorists.

On the other had, Iran is shooting down a plane carrying It's own citizens.

lexy2014:


How's that relevant to d discussion?

charliboy654:

So are u expecting us to praise Iran because US has done same mistake 32 yrs ago

Stop mentioning 1988 my friend. This is 2020. Technology, military hardware and sophistication has evolved.

America is living in 2020, Iran is living in 1988.

You're giving me reasons why Iran's missiles couldn't inflict civilian casualties? You further buttress my point, Iran is a learner. If America can easily counter missiles what military prowess does Iran then posses to inflict damage to the USA?

DelilahMakinde:


Oh it's very relevant, I can assure you.

We cannot back and forth over a discussion involving an entity whose existence is not confirmed by both parties.

Anyway, you already answered my question.

Have a lovely weekend.

So many olodos on nairaland.
