Well they were getting far less sanctions than they were now, that was the motivation. Now that they’re getting ruthlessly hammered with sanctions again, why would they keep cooperating?

I can read between the lines, but Iran does not possess nuclear weapons.

Guess we will find out shortly.

Iran on high alert commercial aircraft.

Russian radar controller anti aircraft guns around Teheran... Big pops of explosion while it's burning and coming down - that's no simple bird strike...

Latest reports are an engine fire.

A single engine fire shouldn’t cause a 737 to crash.

That was my thought as well, these things happen. Would have to be a pretty catastrophic fire to doom a plane.

Vertical stab is full of holes from the outside...

Commercial jets loose engines daily. Probably weekly fires... When was the last time one crashed with explosions and huge fire trail as it's going down?

Who would shoot it though? I can't see Iran attacking a plane full of Iranians. Russia is on Irans side so I can't see it being them. As fucked as the US is I can't see them going for a commercial airline in response to the military base bombings.

Unless it's someone else trying to escalate war in the background I just don't see who would initiate that attack.

I think he was implying that it was Russian anti aircraft/missile defence systems in Tehran that shot it down thinking it was hostile

Pretty much, highly doubt they're automated so it's on and tracking or off. All it takes is one communications failure or the wrong unit being shut off...

Lots of conspiracies starting to float around.. Including iran knowing that they got duped last time with the hostages being snuck out, so they took down the plane this time if they had thoughts some were getting removed again.

TWA 800 exploded on its own. Massive fire.

When it comes to plane crashes, witness reports are basically useless.

There is strong evidence that TWA800 was brought down by a missile that did NOT detonate.

One obvious clue was RDX all over the ship, but no high speed associated spalling of parts caused by detonation. Another was some caved IN parts of the ship around the centre fuel tank

The rocket simply ignited the fuel/vapour mix (low speed detonation/deflagration).

The other was dozens of CREDIBLE witnesses (military, pilots, professionals) who stated they saw an object heading towards the aircraft, as seen from multiple angles.

Also, the NTSB even admitted that a non-detonated missile into the centre tank would have created this exact scenario, but 'more testing was required'.

So what does Canada do now that Iran has killed dozens of citizens?

[ExtraSlow]

Consult with them.

I'm sure JT will find some way to apologize.

[lilmira]

tell them to dial it down a bit in a firm tone of voice, or else!

[CompletelyNumb]

Canada will update this page with some more restrictions: https://www.international.gc.ca/worl....aspx?lang=eng

JT will apologize to the families.
