All I’m reading is “duhhhh well 30 years ago this happens so...”

No condemnation for what Iran have done whatsoever
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There has been plenty of condemnation, just like there was for the previous instances. It's quite pathetic of you to pretend otherwise.

What is actually happening here, is that you want to take an extreme position and separate Iran and the US into 'goodies and baddies'. Then that way you can justify taking unprecedented actions for such an event and completely ignore previous responses.

Then when someone provides a bit of balance (something you definitely don't want), you accuse them of being at the other extreme to discredit their point in your own mind.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You haven’t a clue what you are talking about mate.

I have no love for the American regime and have been very vocal about that on here. If you can explain to me how a plane being shot down in 1988 is related to this topic in what you claim to be a balanced manner then please do it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you have responded to that atrocity in a similar manner, say the US should pay?

It’s the lead story in most papers globally, how is that a little deal?

This will now be fully investigated, not just internally by Iran.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence.

Today’s admission by Iran confirms what it always looked like: Someone in their military confused this flight (delayed by an hour) for an enemy aircraft and launched missiles at it. No need for military repercussions and it’s right that Iran “own” it.

They should be made to pay for it by the condemnation of other countries, the international Court, and paying récompense to the families of the victims.
As should be the case in all similar incidents.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Absolutely.

honestly can’t believe how little a deal is being made of this.

176 innocent civilians have lost their lives over a botched missile strike and all I hear the world leaders saying is what a terrible accident it was.

If the Iranian military are capable of accidentally murdering their own citizens, then how can we trust them with nuclear weapons?

This was an act of war for me and they should pay for it...


Same way America shot down a civilian plane in 1988.

Depends on what you mean by pay. Would you have said that it was an act of war and they shouldnt have nuclear weapons?

Was it 100% Iran’s fault with conclusive evidence? Or are we going on the word of the US?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They've admitted it

Agreed. But no more civilians should have to die

What I don’t understand is why Iran didn’t check to clear their airspace before launching those missiles, it’s common sense of a 5 year old for goodness sake.

But I don’t know what more can be done to punish that country, they’ve been hit by every single sanction under the sun that you can think of.

No I would have ran out on to the street, bottle of whiskey in one hand and pistol in the other, shooting to the heavens and praising Jeebus for killing the evil sand people

That's what the op said about Iran, so let's see if he's consistent with anyone who does similar.

Well if Iran can’t have nuclear weapons because of shooting a plane. Someone take America’s off them. They did the same...

Already said on a previous thread that no country should have Nuclear weapons. Stop trying to make this about America.

It sounds to me like I could go out and shoot up a school or something and then be excused for it because it happens in America all the time. Some people

Can’t argue with that but again it’s not relevant to what Iran have done

Also OP, killing your own citizens would be genocide, not an act of war.

What about the Canadians and Britons on board among other foreign nationals?
