Just bullying everyone, Pompeo is calling on nations to stand against China so that America usual way of bullying weak nations would continue unchecked. Jokers!

Modified:

They invade nations by dividing them, and then sponsor the greedy and inexperience oppositions to topple the govt. I don't need to remind you about Libya, Iraq, Venezuela etc.

I want everyone to know that, China is the World's first superpower to become prosperous on hardwork. UK, USA, France and largely all Europeans became wealthy by stealing, killing, slavery, manipulations, etc

I want Nigerian govt at all levels to understudy chinese success. It's a very good model to develop Africa. They would study your technology and innovate it. Chinese are brilliant and resilience. Africans have no reason taking side with anyone, everyone is fighting for their interests

The US are bullies quite alright but don't praise China, I'll rather advice African countries to be weary of China and their Greek gifts before we mortgage our children's future

Is the US also a rogue country for shooting down a civilian airplane and still refusing to apologize after several years?

Visual inspection of a passenger plane. Bollocks, Lol.

If Mahan Air was really transporting weapons for Iranian-linked fighters, I wonder how the F-15 pilot was going to see these weapons from the window of a passenger plane at 34,000ft. Is the plane a flying showglass?
Bros, the F-15 can see the weapons the same way customs or Security at the airport will see concealed weapons. You can never under estimate the modified F-15. Trust me, it is not impossible to have electronic scanners on board the jet that will enable it to assess the plane close by.
they can identify a passenger plane on ground through the radar, coming up close to intercept was just to perform scanning. You will be naive if you think the pilot took off from ground to go look through the window from 1000m to see inside the airplane. you will even be more naive to think the US will rely on naked eyes assessment. If that plane was carrying weapons, and they scan it with their advanced electronics, they go detect am. US no be your mate

That's what they do...cause mayhem and disappear.
The Libya intervention marked the third time in a decade that Washington embraced regime change and then failed to plan for the consequences. In 2001, the United States toppled the Taliban in Afghanistan but gave little thought about how to stabilize the country. In a memo to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld early in that campaign, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith argued that Washington “should not allow concerns about stability to paralyze U.S. efforts to oust the Taliban leadership. ... Nation-building is not our key strategic goal.” With the Taliban on the run, decision-makers in Washington behaved as if the mission was over. A year later, in 2002, there were just 10,000 U.S. troops and 5,000 international soldiers trying to provide security to a population of about 20 million. With the new government in Afghanistan unable to provide basic services outside of the capital, the almost inevitable result was a Taliban recovery, which set the stage for today’s stalemated conflict.
Two years later, in 2003, Washington again failed to prepare for the day after, or post-conflict stabilization. The Bush administration was eager to overthrow Saddam Hussein, and equally determined to avoid getting bogged down in a prolonged nation-building mission in Iraq. The result was a “small-footprint” invasion plan aimed at leaving as quickly as possible. There was little or no preparation for the possible collapse of Iraqi institutions, widespread looting, or an organized insurgency. The first U.S. official in charge of Iraqi reconstruction, Jay Garner, summarized the thinking: “[S]tand up a government in Iraq and get out as fast as we can.” Symbolizing the lack of concern for rebuilding the country, Bush’s pick for Garner’s successor was L. Paul Bremer—a man Bush had never met, who wasn’t an expert on Iraq or post-conflict reconstruction, and didn’t speak Arabic. Bremer decided to purge members of Saddam’s Baath Party from public-sector work and disband the Iraqi army, thereby creating a mass of unemployed, resentful, and armed men, furthering the spiral into instability.

Several jets can fly closely together to make it appear as one large airliner on radar. Same tactic was deployed by Israel to bomb a Osirak nuclear reactor in Baghdad, Iraq. Don’t speak of what u know nothing about.

What's the name of the technology that can scan a plane for weapons at cruising altitude?
Have u heard of "U2 spy"? What of SAR (Synthetic aperture radar) used mostly for reconnaisance mission but had been remodified for higher altitude screening. The outlisted technologies are old. Some of the recent spying technologies info are kept as top secret/classified

Na mumu dey worry them, they don't know what to do with all those money they budget on war hence this stupid mission.

To use a jet to check if there's a weapon inside a plane. Who ever came up with such idea.

When I see courage I respect it. Americans can't sleep with their eyes closed when they hear Iran.
Some fellas are already painting Iranian government as being a terrorist without any tangible proof..

I still don't get it, how can you be manufacturing nuclear weapons and try to stop others from such?.
In all films, its America that will always defeat Russia and the rest in war.
That's just film. This is 21st century, war can't be predicted.

well,I believe the US actually wanted to identify the plane properly be n relay the information to ground intelligence for follow up, those guys are not fools,of course it's not possible to detect the content of the plane by just a fly pass,Iran could also like be crying wolf without substance as well, good thing they promised to conduct an investigation,the world awaits their facts.

Visit their country and then you’ll know the meaning of rights abuse without respite.

I don’t pity Iran, their govt hasn’t made moves to engender trust internationally. So all these Nigerian Muslims crying foul should shift joor. We have our own problems that we haven’t even begun to understand how to tackle facing us right here. cool

Yes. It flew over Saudi Arabia to Iraq. Saudis saw it as a big airliner and called in to confirm and one of the Israeli pilots spoke Arab and was able to convince them. At the time the Saudis were trying to purchase the AWACS aircraft from the US. It was believed that the mission would not have been successful had Saudi bought that plane as it would fly close to the “airline” to verify.

The selective amnesia some of you have ehn.
Imperialist aggression on Iran and Syria used to be once in a month, it moved on to become once in a week, right now it is almost everyday. The moment it becomes more than once daily, it has become a war and the other side will respond appropriately. That is where Israel and US are heading to.
I just hope the world will remember that Israel and US have attacked Iran and Syria almost half a thousand times unprovoked and most times without retaliation from the attacked parties.

A passenger aircraft is supposed to be able to carry which kind of military weapons if not small arms? That was not the concern. The concern was if the aircraft was a bomber which could have posed a direct threat from the air, hence the air patrol and visual inspection.
