Not the first time a passenger plane was shot down by "accident".

Are you guys trolling or?
Iran has regressed significantly in the last 50 years. This is a further indication of how terrible the current leadership is. Some of the support I see for Iran in the last week is baffling. The regime terrorizes and murders its own citizens. They've significantly damaged the economy, are irrational, and have passed backward laws.
They're the dumb cousins of more efficient totalitarian regimes like the Third Reich or the CCP.

My use of putting "accident" in quotes was to signify that I question whether it was an accident or not here.
I was also noting that this is not the first time this has happened. eg Iranian Flight 655 was shot down in 1988 by the Navy by accident, because they somehow mistook an A300 Airbus that was climbing for an attacking Iranian piloted A-14 Tomcat fighter.
US military is backing the Iranian claim that it was a mistake. Is the US military in bed with the Iranians now, or?

My apologies.
I agree, it was almost certainly an accident. Not sure if that makes the situation worse or better. It was a plane full of Iranian citizens, leaving their national airport.
Probably an issue with the IFF system and their military being on high alert after the U.S. attack. The first thing the U.S. would do in an aerial assault is take out anti-aircraft defense systems, so they were definitely on high alert.

Thanks. I'll be sure to convey the whataboutism to the grieving communities in Canada that lost so many young, and brilliant family members.
The U.S. shot down a civilian aircraft 31 years ago. Feel better guys?

No worries, why I explained.
Then you went all dickish regardless. That example wasn't "whataboutism", meaning Iran's free and clear here because of what the US did, it's not, as there's zero correlation. It was noting that accidents like this do happen via example.
Now if you want to discuss what I think happened, sure. LMK. edit: I'm not entirely convinced this was an accident, maybe, maybe not.

You (and I mean "you" in a general sense) don't get to arbitrarily pick which evil is tolerable and which evil should be snuffed out. As shitty as Iran is, it's a sovereign country backed by two nuclear powers, and on the global stage the only thing they're really guilty of is playing the same proxy-war /sabre-rattling garbage that we and most of the other big players in geopolitics are playing.
Sure it sucks that all those people on the plane died for nothing. But jerking each other off on an anonymous image board about it isn't going to bring them back to life or prevent further atrocities from occurring.

Because they can.
Data's still data, even if it isn't war critical stuff. Could mean something commercially though. Think how China steals literally everything they can get their hands on, and reproduces it in house.
