Also, I have read that it is possible to fiddle with 737 systems from distance. How the hell they did not recognize the plane?
This was an "outgoing craft"; it could not have been mistaken as a threat. The radar on the TOR is very high quality; it was built by the Russians. The IRG murdered a plane load of innocent people to revenge their leader, and make a statement. It is now up to the Iranians themselves to secure justice, and have the last word. They themselves have been plagued by these barbarians since the disposition of the Shah by the CIA. The US needs to stay out of other countries political business, and the Iranians need to secure their own society. They managed without the US for 5,000 years, and the US's constant meddling always gets people killed. The US has no business in the Middle East. If they want to sell the US their oil; fine! If they don't, it's the US's problem to figure out something else. The price that has been paid for oil has been insane. It has been a very high price measured in (D*B/b) Dead Bodies per barrel.
