- On 3 July 1988, during the Iran-Iraq War, the USS Vincennes launches missiles that bring down Iran Air Flight 655, killing all 290 people on board. The crew of the Vincennes claimed that they mistook the airliner for an Iranian Air Force Grumman F-14 Tomcat fighter, but Iran believes that the US deliberately shot it down.

Insane that all of this would likely never have happened if that one passenger hadn't had an issue with their visa. The butterfly effect is insane.
It’s deeper than u can imagine the year before in 1987 the USS stark was bombed by an Iraqi fighter plane disguised as a luxury business jet. Over 37 American sailors were killed and the captain of the USS Vincennes didn’t want his ship to suffer the same fate…unfortunately the Vincennes blew up an actual airliner which I believe led to the Lockerbie bombing by Iran/Libya as retaliation (America bombed Libya a few years before after a terrorist attack at German nightclub frequented by American servicemen and Iran definitely wanted to even the score against the U.S after Iran 655 was shot down.)
It is indeed insane. Lots of "if only suppose..." and "why..." left behind.
What is insane is that it is ok to be forced to ask for and pay for permission to travel and live anywhere we want to in gods all natural green earth for free, and without permission. The truth is the whole entire earth and everything within it belongs to every man woman and child equally, for free, no strings attached. Rightfully and lawfully, our creators are the only ones each of us has to answer to.
But as foretold , ju-rome in disguise called christendom, through the civy lies nations and religions, stole the whole entire earth and enslaved the world. AND THE EVIDENT AND OBVIOUS FACT IS, IF IT WERNT FOR THE GOVS, WOULDN BE NONE OF THESE KINDS OF FIASCOS IN THE VIDEO, AND NO WAR NOR CRIME NOR SIKNESS EITHER.
Take a lesson from the real 'mericans back in the day. Those folks had never been lied to, never been cheated, never had anything stolen from, never had any murderers runnin round, and they also had never been sik with so much as a cold. Until the civy lies nations showed up and began torturing and murdering/exterminating those folks and the escapees from the civy lies nations especially , and they made the tribes sik and killed off tribes that way, and they forced the rest of the real 'mericans into subjection, and stole all of the land that belongs to all of us wqually.
The real 'mericans knew that and that is how they lived, completely free and freely, answering only to our creators. And that is a fact.
Wernt for the govs of the civy lies nations, wouldn be no crime nor senseless death, nor sikness, nor war, and the earth wouldn't be destroyed and wed all be completely free and never have to ask anyones permision, wouldn have to work slave jobs, and would never do without natural food and pure clean water.
The civy lies nations have destroyed the whole entire earth and everything within it - even the earth itself is sik and dying now. That is what is insane. But noone ever accused them devil satans of being anything less than evil destroyers of everything that is good, right, fair, and just.
Other countries “accidentally” shoot down a US plane “unacceptable,unforgivable, we will retaliate with force” US “accidentally” shoots down foreign plane “Oops my bad but hey let’s reward our guys with medals just because we can”
The guys who shot the plane down shouldn't have gotten a medal for that
😂
Christopher Gutierrez I agree with you ... It's Bull crap
17 May 1987 a attacking aircraft was a Dassault Falcon 50 business jet which had been modified with a radar and missile hardpoints to carry two AM-39 Exocet missiles for anti-shipping operations. 2 excocet missiles struck the USS Stark.
So they brought this on themselves by arming non military aircraft.
God will destroy US. US can shot down other plane !!!. If any body shots down US Plane, the US will send Nuclear Bomb. Who is the Real KILLER ?. Do US consider the INNOCENT CITIZENS ?. GOd, Please destroy the Evil Western Empire 💩👎😱🖕🥶
The man who reported that the airliner was descending when it wasn't caused the calamity. There should have been someone to double-check his figures.
The real scandal is that the man got a "Navy Commendation Medal" and a "Combat action ribbon", well after his responsibility was clearly shown by a neutral investigation.
He also simply should not have been WRONG. Inexcusable!
All lies, from the US. As usual.
Maybe, maybe not. A perceived threat descending is also a perceived threat if/when it ascends. An anti-ship missile doesn't care what altitude it's fired from.
@@ronjon7942, a passenger plane is going to climb to an appropriate altitude. I get what you are saying.
It is ridiculous. F14 is not a bomber. It is not able to attack surface forces. It is only an interceptor fighter.
F14s can mount air-to-ground weapons. The crew of Vincennes had no way of knowing if Iran had examples such equipped.
As the case dragged on, a settlement was reached in 1996. The United States, which “expressed deep regret” for shooting down Iran Air flight 655, agreed to pay $61.8 million to the victims' families, and Iran dropped its suit.
The headline states Iran Air 655 was shot down by the US ARMY....this is incorrect, it was shot down by the USS Vincennes, which rather obviously was a ship in the US NAVY.
Wow I'm glad you clarified that for all of us because nobody would have known that a boat would actually be in the Navy that's wow I'm so amazed I'm I'm so grateful that you explain that because I figured that the army was just dragging big ships across deserts on the sand with ropes I'm so glad you reminded us all that ships are actually in the Navy
At this point I ran was hoping for a propaganda coup I wouldn't be surprised if they did not deliberately coordinate their surface vessels the f-14 on the runway and everything else probably day after day after day to keep them all in close proximity awaiting when everything would fall into place for a situation and an outcome like this it probably had been very close to the same thing happening over and over and over for weeks and months before this and then finally the Iranian government's plan actually fell into place
@@tapalmer99 my comment was directed at the person who published the video as they seem a bit confused about the various branches of armed forces. Oh, BTW, it's a ship, not a boat, smart ass.
US ARMY. "I figured that the army was just dragging big ships across deserts on the sand with ropes" hahaha what cunt, that's pretty funny.
@@tapalmer99 Don't be a jerk. The Army has aircraft carriers and lots of other boats. Army doesn't equal just soldiers, Navy doesn't equal just boats, and Airforce doesn't equal just airplanes. That would be idiotic.
Russia blowing up that passenger airbus doesn't look so bad now
USS Vincennes (CG-49) was a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser outfitted with the Aegis combat system that was in service with the "UNITED STATES NAVY" from July 1985 to June 2005.
So no one asked, why Iran only would send ONE F14 to take on the Americans, an iranian airforce trained by the Americans?
Or why would the Iranian pilots, trained by the Americans, even would get so close to the ship while clearly, the F14 range is much more than 10 miles?
And no one ever questioned why the Americans were awarded Medals for this action?
4KM inside Iranian Territory! Don't forget.....
There is an important detail that always gets left out of any of these shows, regarding this incident. You can’t actually talk about the USS Vincennes incident without also talking about the USS Stark that happened a few months prior. The Stark was in almost the same place facing a very similar decision path. They were tracking a civilian airliner operating in a manner that raised concerns. It turned out Iraq had taken a Dassault Business jet, and modified it with the targeting radar from a fighter bomber. It was using a civilian transponder, identifying as a civilian aircraft, and carrying two French built Exocet Missiles. Those missiles were fired at and struck the Stark, nearly sinking the ship and killing a large number of US sailors. When you put the two incidents together you gain a bit more context regarding why the Vincennes fired.
NOPE, no one asked for USS Vincennes was out there for gunslinger satisfaction, clearly looking for the slightest pretext to kill Iranians and show the world who is the bully on the block.
@@andrewtaylor940 It is interesting that there is always a truckload of excuses orbiting the comments when the US of A gets caught in the act.
Be honest, not one of the true facts you are citing would be the slightest help if the USS Vincennes crew WOULD HAVE to face a US tribunal (they did not have to which is in itself a clear statement):
1) they had the means to investigate and know what was up there. The US had planes in the air, several ships in the surrounding, access to radar data of several high tech radar sets all over the place, land, sea and airborne.
2) they had a perfectly correct squawk-code, as a matter of fact they had to manually label the Mode III beacon as a F14 to make it appear "hostile" on their own radar.
3) in fact, they had all the most advanced sensors and technology a AEGIS cruiser does dispose of.... YET, they where so eager to live their gunslinger fantasy that they even INVENTED a non existant flightpath AGAINST the reality shown on their proper screens.
4) it is the US of A that made sure with it's embargo that Iran had no access to Exocet missiles or any technology making an Iranian Airplane able to copy the strike Irak had been pulling off..... and I would suppose that the United States Navy was in a perfect position to KNOW this fact for they have a thing called intelligence and risk assessment.
5) Other fact is that USS Vincennes went AGAINST their own standing orders, ending up in a place they where NOT supposed to be, doing things no human being with self respect would be able to live with
6) AND, last fact, got promotions, medals and recommendations for this act of savagery. NO civilized Democracy would reward a captain after he caused the death of 290 civilians.
You would would not stand the slightest chance with this line of defense facing a regular US tribunal @Andrew Taylor - and you know it!
@@abuseofmainstreammediacanh5713 And that wall of text doesn't really say much, especially since you could have said similar things or even more about the Soviets and the shoot downs of Korean Air Lines flights 902 and 007 in 1978 and 1983 by Soviet interceptors.
@@alexgonzalez6115 What you are doing right now is called whataboutism. What you are talking about ahs nothing to do with the subject at hand. We are discussing an Iranian Airliner shut down by the US Navy, which the video also is about. If you want to talk about Sovjet or Korea, find a Video about those countries and knock yourself out!
God that is unfortunate, just seems like there should have been more that could have been done from all sides in terms of identification.
July 1988, and this still happens today
I still remember how embarrassed I was to finally learn about this thirty years later. Being a child in the 1980s, I thought the Soviets were the only ones evil enough to shoot down a civilian passenger jet.
Letshope it will never happen again - in any country
Jesus , it's no wonder the middle east holds a grudge.
Maybe check to see if they were possibly on another frequency?
Army gets blamed for a conflict at sea lol
Losers either way 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm upset to find that my own country wrongfully shot down a civilian aircraft. I don't know what went wrong but it cost the lives of all those innocent people.
This was ridiculous. A passenger jet squawks its profile. It’s unarmed. If it were to get close enough to any Navy ship (within 1-2 miles) it would be dismantled by the Phalanx guns and would propose no threat.
You should look at the ARMED Daasult Falcon 50 business jet that launched 2 exocet missiles at the USS Stark in 1987 before the lack of context overcomes you.
Almost half these vids I seen the accidents be Caused of delays which is Crazy 🤦🏾♂️
Despite the mistakes leading to the massacre of unarmed civilians, the crew of USS Vincennes were awarded Combat Action Ribbons. The air warfare coordinator killing more than hundred civilians by incompetence got the Navy Commendation Medal. Rogers, the Commander was awarded the Legion of Merit "for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding service as commanding officer ..] from April 1987 to May 1989". .... all this was done well AFTER a neutral investigation had clearly attributed the huge responsibility of the US Navy.... so, considering all this I would say NO, it was not "by mistake" - it was a deliberate act of state terror.
Why couldn’t the aircraft carrier in the battle group send up F-18’s for a visual?
You have to understand we are talking about America. Shoot first ask questions later. Common sense is not popular here in the United States
There may not have been any F18s available to take a look.
Who creates the titles for the videos?
cry about it
@@bobsagget823
Hey I'm not a retard who thinks that the US navy is the army.
Oh you think I can't shoot down a plane? Hold my beer
Iran retaliated with twa flight 800 with a surface to air missile fired off a Long Island New York beach.
I garntee that a Iranian f14 was piggy backing that commercial plane
Why didn't the navy ship run to see if the plane followed them? They were not an immovable building.
Why run? You never run.
Uhmmm..To.borrow a line from Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in 'Tombstone" "I beg to differ" It was not the Army.
The sadness of a weaker country, couldn't bring justice for their innocent civilians.
Who else is from Abel Mutua's Headline Hitters
The limits of technology...😞
As an Iranian, my grandfather was the commander of Tehran's military airbase and he told me it hadn't been a mistake because it was intentionally conducted by the USA
@@mat3043 evidence?
They were so delusional and were so thrilled by their fist ever war action before that they even sawing the data wanted to believe that the plane was a fighter, a threat, descending and wanted to attack them - they chose to believe that and even now still say it was the right decision in the interviews 😮😠🤯
Absolutely...there was no boghammer engagement or anything at the time...at that very moment....
Rogers is still lying about the events. He didn't give the order to fire at 10 miles, the Vincennes wanted to fire at 20 miles but the operator repeatedly input the wrong fire codes and they only got it right by the time it had closed further. There's a Channel 4 documentary about the incident that goes into it.
Gap closing.... ! your ship towarding to airplane so you feel gap closing n it's your big mistake
Definitely not a cover up 😳
This documentary is surly is a cover up! Full of lies
Jesus Christ. Could you make your ad any louder?
As an Iranian I have to admit it wasn't a mistake made by the US navy because it was an intentional kill! the radar of the US navy was a professional one and they could easily distinguish the type of airplane which was not a jet plane! according to Noam Chomsky the prominent political writer of the USA, he mentioned in one of his books about the brutal and ruthless killing of those innocent passengers by the US navy
shame on the captain of the ship
Well said. It was intentional. Or extreme recklessness.
As an American CLEARLY the US is in the wrong. The fact that the crew got rewards for what they have done is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! Come on, YOU KILLED A BUNCH OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS HERE! My condolences go out to the people that were lost that day.
It wasn't the US Army, it was the US Navy, the USS Vincennes to be exact. You people need to work on the correct titles!!!!!
Excellent stoked fantastic groovy job fellows!! Well done.
The headline states Iran Air 655 was shot down by the US ARMY....this is incorrect, it was shot down by the USS Vincennes, which rather obviously was a ship in the US NAVY.
They gave the guy a medal for it disgusting!!! The us is shameful
They were in Iranian waters!!!!!
SMH
Air Crash Investigation Gang tap in👀🛩🛬🛫✈🔎
Then you give the commander a medal
??? --> Shot Down By The US Army ??? In the title. Looks like the Navy to me.
nah its the air force
Sad when they can't tell the Army from the Navy lol. Seriously, with a ship armed with all that sophisticated weaponry yet they couldn't tell that the aircraft was civilian? Uh-huh. That airliner didn't stand a chance. RIP TO all who died.
Losers they are.
If United States hadn't given Iran the F14 , this wouldn't happen. We screwed up all the time and to other countries
and at the same time U.S is backing Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden
TL;DW
So this navy boat vincennes sends a helicopter to harass gunboats, gunboats respond in self defense with small arms, vincennes then turns north to engage them even when explicitly ordered not to do so, entering iranian territory. They fail to track the IFF of the passenger jet properly, then the crew pretends the jet is descending in an attack profile when the logs actually show it climbing like a normal passenger jet at normal passenger jet speeds. Sure.
A comedy of careless errors and awful judgement
vincennes crew and captain are 100% responsible and of course the govt "investigates" and then censors the public report, claims it did nothing wrong because "we didn't know", and rubs sht in the victims' faces by awarding the crew medals. gotta keep that warmongering boner extra hard am i right
The fact that the crew of USS Vincennes got a bunch of medals after killing more than 100 civilians is a clear sign that this was no mistake. In a half way organized military organization, one gets sanctioned for mistakes. As history tells, many of those moron gunslingers got well rewarded and promoted. It is therefore a clear case of state terrorism - no mistake.
@@abuseofmainstreammediacanh5713 Agree 100%. This was deliberate. I am dismayed so many people have found excuses for murder.
That about wraps it up.... the audacity to reward them.
What is the Truth?
The truth is, it was all the Americans' fault. Through mistakes and hubris. Then we lied about it. And the criminals got commendations.
Capt. Will Rodgers did not even have the decency to kill himself.
The story is incorrect. I was there. Captain Rodgers was gun happy.
Boy, are you not bright. It was the US Navy, not army. And it wasn't mistaken identity.
F14 was actually on the runway ready to roll but they stopped it and let Iran air go first. Therefore shot down by mistake
Pleassssse , you all work for CIA ? This was not a mistake , could not be mistake! These are all false information...
If the capitan made a mistake , why capitan got promotional award after this criminal act ???
As much a mistake as the Wehrmacht crossed the border to Poland "by mistake" in 1939. And, just as you do, @Blaze2069, German propaganda found a load of bs reasons why it was o.k. they did it!
@@abuseofmainstreammediacanh5713 Exactly!
Shot down by multiple mistakes, a disregarded order by Rogers, from a superior, and then lied about to the world, you mean?
They were not even supposed to be where they were. They claimed they were in "international waters." They were not.
Yes, sending an air superiority fighter with zero anti-ship capabilities to engage naval targets. Because that somehow makes sense.
That is crazy I mean those guys had their first battle action EVER in their life’s the Adrenalin was floating they felt suuuuuper inportamt and powerful so let‘s continue a little bit to play war now that we are soooo inportant right at the moment 😮😢 - that is absolutely stupid I mean at the end before shooting he was also advised that is is no fighter after all but probably a passenger airplane and that man had still the nerves to say in the interview „yeah I mean I thought our ship perhaps could be destroyed because time is a demon and we were attacked soooooo heavily ( that was from me obviously he did not say that because they weren‘t even threatened by the boat before they had the better weapons ) and years before once a ship was misidentified so I thought better them than us although it was very insecure if it was a threat at all“ yeah great way of thinking and after shooting 300 civil persons from the sky they were all clapping and laughing ( what u shouldn’t even do after having killed a real enemy in my eyes to cheer at any caused death is soooo disgusting to me )
Flight 800 followed this event!
It was definitely an accident. Plus, Iran joined the club last year when they shot down a civilian airliner.
NOPE, it was M U R D E R as well as W A R C R I M E. The medals the crew of USS Vincennes received for killing more than hundred civilians say's it all. THATS one of the main differences between the two cases: the Iranian responsible got sentenced by a tribunal - the US responsible got medals and recommendations. One can't make this up.....
True Iran joined the club, however, the US never underwent the same scrutiny and condemnation as Iran, the Americans even gave the crew Medals for their actions. That is the difference.
@@abuseofmainstreammediacanh5713 It was a tragic accident caused by miscommunication and inexperience.
You are just talking s.. because you are musad employees , how Iran joined the club ? Hunting its own air space ? Did you know that was also electronic war against Iranian system by Americans? There are 100 reasons to prove again Americans Shutdown the Airplane but by creating false reading in Iran's defence system.
4 oclock in the morning one of Musad agents waited in the cold open area exactly on the path of Airliner and missile defence system for this to happen and had camera ready to film the whole event and sent it back to CIA and Musad ? Even before Iran defence system could figure out what happened , .. that was not by Iran , but was orchestrated by CIA and Musad and thier agent were waiting to film it ....
Stop talking S...t .
Now whole world knows how much blood is on the hand of CIA and Musad .. you can not hide it by making B**S*** documentary.
@@Powerranger-le4up It was not. The US has committed war crimes before, laughed about it, covered it up. They want to murder Julian Assanage for revealing warcrimes. The US government is a bunch of cocks who just want money
What America does is always right.... Atleast they think like that, no matter wall will be the consequences.if it is the video made by real references, why did they awarded them and most importantly whey they all warship members excepted it.
Yes the truth came up at the end of the ďocumetory
They should rename it to Noobs Shot Down An Passenger Plane and Got Medals For That.
Defo
I'm shocked that Captain America would have done something like this
And not too long after we got our comeuppance when pan am 103 met it's demise
Such A Sad Incident😢😟🥺😢😭😭😭I Cant Believe What The Capt's Brother and Will Rogers Must Feel.
He is happy now because they given him a medal
Excuses, excuses. U.S not in welcome territory.
After all these reviews , you should take the " mistaken" from the title , it is proved it was intentional.
How so? Genuinely curious.
@@deprofundis3293 Because all information and evidences prove it was intentional, even after all made up stories in this documentary , in last few minutes of documentary thy could not hide the fact and a non military investigatior has expressed it was intentional.
You need more reasons ?? .. just read feedbacks , and talk to people whom they were closely were following this from the day it happened (like me) ...... 100% sure it was intentional as I heard the actual conversation between US navy and IranAir pilot ... US navy asked the plain to turn around , Capitan Rezaian clearly said we are passenger plane and I can not just turn like that, and this conversations took only couple minutes and those MF American navy just shoot them during having conversation .....
@@ABE-sv5lk like I said, I just wanted to know the truth. Do you have a good resource with a succinct description of that? I realize it might not be straightforward since I'm sure they'd have tried to cover it up, and it sounds like you've put a lot of time into researching it.
@@ABE-sv5lk and/or the recording of the conversation you referenced. Sounds very incriminating. How horrible.
@@deprofundis3293 No need for any complications, at the time I was living in Iran , although I was a kid , but I clearly remember all evidences were presented in the media then, as far as I remember the pilots conversation recorded ( possibly from retrieved black box from nearby the persian gulf) was clear that pilot repeatedly said , we are passenger plan and it was proven that he was elevating faster than he should just to show he was not approaching the US Navy , (while he was in the passenger Air plane path), yet Navy shoot them down.
For me or any others whom they saw those evidences , there is no doubt this was an intentional shooting down the passenger Airplane by Americans possibily just to cause a low morales for Iranians at the time .
CRIMINAL NO DOUBT.
Again you are lying hard ! I Heard the conversation between capitan Rezaei and US Navy , Capitan Rezaei was crying over radio that we are passenger plane while US navey was asking him to turn around and Capitan rezaei was repeating over radio , we are passengers plane and I can not just turn around.... bunches of lies in this documentary

It was no mistake
I was in the US Navy on a Spruance class during this incident. Iran had vowed to give us a "present" for our Independence day. Don't threaten someone and then cry when they take your threat seriously. What I can't understand is why the P3 didn't help out. They had to have heard everything unfolding. If they had gotten involved and told us that the aircraft was a civilian aircraft it could have been avoided.
Edit I also lost a friend on the Stark.
May you follow your friend to hell.
@@jarfath75 no need for that
It was a passenger airliner, flying in a international air-corridor for civil aircraft well known and marked on the charts, following a known, legally registered flight-plan, having its radar identification (squawk code) switched on, respecting every single IATA regulation ever emitted for this kind of flight. AND the Navy gave medals and recommendations to those responsible for the massacre of more than 100 civilians, including children. You have as much of an excuse for the US Navy as the Wehrmacht had in 1939 crossing the border to Poland. Fact.
Try this "Someone said in a menacing way he would have a gift for me, so I went into his house and slaughtered his wife and children, he shouldn't cry now" defense line in front of a US tribunal - good luck with it! ;-)
You are full of sh...
Iran at the time did not have enough equipments to fight that evil saddam which you B.. were supporting . You did it just to scare Iran , but it did not work , but just made you murderers.
Now you have dare to shoot one ira ian fly , you will see all your vessels will be blown up in the middle of the see , Iranians do not forget what evils are running us and us army , just waite for responses in the right time .
US is loosing no doubt !!
@James Street Yes Iran is at fault for being located in the region as a country and being attacked by its neighbor with the Blessing and support of the US and the rest of the world. If you don't like threats stop instigating war and destabilizing the region. How dare the Iranians place their country there, and then threaten those who have contributed to the destruction of the country, how dare they threaten those who supported Saddam's use of chemical weapons, shame on those Iranians for not moving their country out of the way, for not bowing down and for not taking shit from anyone in their own region.
THE CAPTAIN AT 11:22 IS GOOD REASON NOT TO HAVE MILITARY.
Or press on the bridge to show off for, then opps.
This is not the fault of the navy they were literally expecting any minute for the Iranians to send air support to there gun boats. I wouldn't doubt if the Iranians didn't deliberately send that passenger plane to make the us look bad
Please fix the title, Us Navy not Army.
Everyone who was on that ship should face the Gallows.

/smacks head! The Vincennes was in an active and ongoing battle with Iranian gunboats. The shoot down occurred during this battle. And it occurred several months after another US Navy ship on freedom of navigation escort in the gulf took two Exocet missiles fired by an Iraqi civilian business jet, and nearly sunk. With high loss of life. Context is everything.
This was wanton murder. Great job, Navy. This must be their version of "How to make Friends and Influence People.
@@andrewtaylor940 The Vincennes had nothing to do in that Area, they were well inside Iranian territory when they engaged the Iranians and shut down the Airliner. They put themselves in that situation.
1. An Iranian F14 pilot trained by the Americans would never put himself in a corridor to just get shut down like that
2. Prior incident was by Iraq not Iran who attacked the American ship, Ironic how the Americans kept supporting Iraq in the war after that incident.
It is baffling how you people try to excuse horrific acts based on fallacies and your own arrogance.
If you want context, look at how the US navy placed itself in that situation by making a series of bad decisions. The Vincennes should never have been there in the place, they 4 KM inside Iranian territory, when they engaged the Iranians.
@@andrewtaylor940 Vincennes initiated the battle by crossing into Iranian territorial waters and shooting at Iranian Boghammars without being fired upon first, all based on an still unverified claimed that its chopper was "fired at". Not only that, the reckless and unprofessional behavior of the crew who couldn't recognize that a slow, ascending aircraft, in the middle of a passenger flight corridor, did not demonstrate any of the flight profiles of Iranians F-14 (a pure air superiority fighter), none of which were equipped for surface warfare to begin with at that time.
This was a f*** up in any context. Iranians did get the message though, if you don't want this to happen, make sure you have enough anti-ship cruise and ballistic missiles stationed onshore to deter any hotheads from seeking glory at your expense. This time around when Trump initiated a fight by killing their General, they ended it with ballistic missile attacks on Al-Assad. If you seize one of their tankers off the coast of Greece, they seize two off their own coast.
US Navy...not the army...
