Why do you think they admited it and do you belive it was unintentionally? I think they wanted to blame usa for it.

Their statement is easily checked about the plane flying into sensitive airspace so coming as a possible threat and the system engaged on the plane.

Iran did well to admit it albeit in the face of the evidence but they said it happened in the first place because of the US’s aggression which had resulted in the need for the system to be on in the first place

So not really an admission, more trying to shift the blame.

Is Blair advising them does one think?

The plane took off from Tehran airport . Same as thousands and thousands of other flights. It headed in an almost ruler straight line, slowly gaining altitude, heading NW, out of Iranian airspace towards its destination . Same as tens of thousands of other flights. It’s called a flight path on a pre determined and internationally agreed flight corridor . Geddit?. Yes is can be checked . Have you not seen the flight trace ?, nothing suspicious. Yet here you are, wanting to be believe the Iranian liars who lied and lied until the evidence became overwhelming.

A possible threat ?. Have you ever been involved in air defence systems ?. A plane gaining height, flying out of the country is a threat ?. What planet are you on?. You choose to believe all this terrorist propoganda ?

Iran could of closed the air space.

They didn't.

They only admitted to it because of all the evidence showing it had been shot down.

Even when the refused to let Boeing access to the flight recorders.

Even when they started using bulldozers to remove the aircraft.

Even then they still said it was a fault with the air craft.

Quiet a simple thing to do which would of stopped this from happening.

Your launching an attack, stop the aircraft from flying into or out of your airspace.

Simple.

Some squad is at fault for pressing the button, they will be killed, blood money will be paid, and Iran will still be to blame.

Do I think it was a good idea him going and having a candle lighting session? No.

But well done for him doing it and then as soon as it started getting a bit "frosty" getting out.

This may be the start of the end for the current Iran leadership (unless they do what they always do, crack down hard, kill a few hundred and carry on)

The plane was from Ukraine

Ukraine will rightly kick off

Iran will go cap in hand to Russia for some back up

Russia will gladly help out because of their issues with Ukraine

Hence it was done on purpose to drag Russia into things

You should see the russian trolls on some forums, very funny as long as you understand what and who they are.

It wasn't done on purpose to drag anyone into anything, thats pure tin foil hat.

Whilst accidents happen, they could of just shut the air space down.

As they didn't, it is all Iran's fault.

Hence the refusal to let anyone at the flight recorders, digging up the plane etc etc

Trying to hide what they did.

Problem is of course, the UK, USA, France, Germany, probably the whole of NATO will have known which launcher did it.

Be doing all the above, they have actually made it worse, if they had just said within minutes it was an accident caused by an over eager officer on the button and a mistake to not close the airspace, the protests etc may not be happening.

There are no mitigating circumstances.

A calamitous mistake.

A scheduled flight, ascending on its scheduled flight path, in normal communication with air traffic control and . . . boom!

Destroyed.

Both almighty fuck-ups, both nurtured by a bout of willy-waving.

There is a key difference.

Iran killed some of its own citizens. The Americans did not.

By arguing for a change in UK nuclear posture - from deterrence to first-strike - they provide every justification for Iran's development of its own nuclear deterrence.

South Side.

We are so used to seeing sanitizer news, and carefully scripted spin from politicians. So, the Iranians fucked up. A soldier launches a missile, probably without orders, and a cop arrests the ambassador, again without thinking too much about it. Big mistakes, and they'll suffer for their mistakes, maybe be executed. Cast your mind back to the second gulf War, when a boat with Royal marines/navy on board wandered into Iranian waters, by mistake. The crew(male and female) were taken captive, but treated with great respect by their Iranian captors, and released shortly after(into the waiting warm embrace of their CO and RSM!!) Shit happens, soldiers on the ground make mistakes, its not a cause for going to war.

It wasn't a retaliation for this, by any chance?

Iran Air Flight 655 was a scheduled passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai via Bandar Abbas that was shot down on 3 July 1988 by an SM-2MR surface-to-air missilefired from USS Vincennes, a guided-missile cruiser of the United States Navy. The aircraft, an Airbus A300, was destroyed and all 290 people on board were killed.[1] The jet was hit while flying over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, along the flight's usual route, shortly after departing Bandar Abbas International Airport, the flight's stopover location
