U.S. officials are confident Iran shot down a Ukrainian jetliner in the hours after the Iranian missile attack on U.S. targets earlier this week, CBS News has learned. The Ukrainian International Airlines plane crashed Wednesday soon after takeoff from Tehran’s airport, killing all 176 people on board.

I would like to clarify one very important thing. My comments are directed at the Iranian government NOT their people. I am sure that there are millions of citizens that are totally against their leaders MO.

I would hope that even the most ignorant among them can see what kind of value these monsters have for human life. Absolutely NONE.

Should this be sufficient reason to put an end to their brutality?? I would recommend that all of the super powers get together and put an end to Irans’ reign of terror. One country should not have to assume the responsibility ALONE, when they are a threat to the entire world. Who but an imbecile can disagree with that.

U.S. intelligence picked up signals of a radar being turned on, sources told CBS News. U.S. satellites also detected two surface-to-air missile launches, which happened shortly before the plane exploded, CBS News was told.

These were 176 innocent people whose lives were snuffed out all because Iran is pissed off at the USA. Let us ask the relatives of those killed how they feel about Iran.
