Current Affairs Iran

Hmm, how would they know? The black boxes havent been turned over by Iran and I doubt any sort of American/foreign investigators have been on site to see the wreckage. It may well have been Iran but the evidence to back up the allegation is more than likely as thin as the evidence of the 'imminent threat'



Agree, but women in America cant control their own bodies so its not so different in many ways.

"CBS published a brief report on Twitter. It said this information was based on US intelligence, which sources said picked up signals of a radar being turned on.

US satellites also reportedly detected two missile launches shortly before the Ukrainian plane exploded."

That's probably how

Awful regime. How any can claim the yanks are the bad guys are delusional.

I was that naive once and I miss it

US intelligence doesnt really scream reliability so I'd wait for another source

Cheney and rumsfeld surpressed info about Isis which gave 2 free years for it to develop. Trump has done everything he can to give them a chance to regroup.

A synical person would suggest it suits America to have such a destabilising force in that region.

Exactly, Soleimani's counterparts on our side are just as bad. If it's "morally right" to kill him then it is to do the same to a e.g. Rumsfeld.

You would suspect that it'll be an combination of signal intercepts, satellite imagery, physical assets (agents) within Iran or it has been leaked into the chain.

Add to that, the radar emissions of Iran will be monitored by the US/other parties, and that is before Boeing and the data uplink that you'd expect the plane to have.

Good job we have US intelligence agencies to prove stuff to us. They are, after all, completely trustworthy.

Is this the same US (un)intelligence that detected the locations of WMD's in Iraq.
The Middle East is becoming the new SE Asia and how did that turn out for the Yanks.......they will turn up bomb the crap out of your country and then when you have had enough they will offer to repair all of the damage they caused for payment in oil.

Iraq is a shining example of how to make the UK a safer place to live......we have been here before!

it’s looking like it was an Iranian missile.....

 

[peteblue]

Almost certainly not deliberate id imagine, especially with no americans on board and the majority of passengers being Iranian.

that would be my view....

Dave, you are going to be on the wrong side of this. Intentional or not, it looks like the Iranians downed the plane. If they didn’t, they would have said to Canada, etc, come and look at the black boxes. But no, they are doing what the Russians did in the Crimea.....

I mean they can, can't they. Depends on the state? Some more backwards than others. I have no issue in saying it.

And obviously rightly so.

But it shouldn't matter. It's like the Malaysian Airlines flight in the Ukraine a few years ago.

How can you 'accidentally' shoot down a commercial jet?

Surely they didn't think it was a drone?

Makes perfect sense though doesn't it, Iran launch missile strikes then they are on alert expecting the US to strike back and 5 hours later an airliner bursts into flames.

The black box will tell all, the pilots tried to return the plane to the airport, there will have been frantic conversations going on with air traffic control and the plane, lets see if those communications are made public.

Iran are bulldozing the crash site apparently, just seen on BBC 10pm news.

For the record I'm not a weirdo who wants a war or thinks the US/UK/west are in any way blameless.

It was clear from the off what happened. Stuff like this isn't just coincidence. Don't need to be a conspiracy nut to think of it.

It's horrid. It wouldn't have happened if the US hadn't had done what they'd done. Then again, they killed an evil person that the world's better off without (whatever their reason for doing so).

Oh aye.
