Yes I think Iran was also smart. 

They did attack but made it so no casualty happens, as they don't want a war right now. 

Now the last problem remains, if Iran does go ahead full speed with the nuclear weapons?

If they are smart again they will wait till Trump and Netanyahu are out of the view....

YEs I think it was a warning to not do this again or this time full scale war is coming. That they will bite back and can bite back. Iran will of course go nuclear now unless they all sit down like human beings and figure some kind of pact. Lift the sanctions and Peace will come. Iran has been more than willing to adhere but Trump threw it to the wind and here we are.

Apparently not going to happen, the sanctions more incoming:

Of course they knew and expected it, foolish otherwise. But intercepting them is another ball game. Iran also developed hypersonic missiles, there are videos of it if you search, those will be even harder to stop. Yup I heard he said new sanctions. Who is he since he decides whom gets sanctioned? When will US get sanctioned for ll the lives they have ruined through false flags and bogus wars? Both sides are fucking crazy.

Despite Trumps claims of "Defence mechanism" THAAD and Patriot failed to stop a single missile, all targets got hit.

i see most "US Hawks" call Trumps reaction (his speech calling now for diplomacy with Iran) after strike on its Military Base "weak"    (allowed iran to ballistic missile strike US military bases)


US ahead 1 general but Soleimani had very high US kill count  (thousands of US troops according TRUMP) 

Trump now offers all those deaths forgotten for the price of soleimani.

in his statement he called for "Partnership and diplomacy with the Iranian leaders" 

its clear he wants now a new start which is very good

Iran acted smartly, and now both nations seem to have taken a step back and calmed down. Seems there will not be a full on war which is great news.

Boeing 737 plane bound for Kyiv crashes minutes after takeoff in Iran, killing all 180 on board

And Trudeau just said they have a proof Iranian missile took plane down

What a revenge by Iran that was! First many died in stampede on funeral and now they killed their own citizens on the Ukrainian plane

yes, they are saying it was unintentional though

still a horrid tragedy 

remember the US shot an Iranian passenger jet down years ago

 

Iran Air Flight 655 was a scheduled passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai via Bandar Abbas that was shot down on 3 July 1988 by an SM-2MR surface-to-air missile fired from USS Vincennes, a guided-missile cruiser of the United States Navy. Wikipedia

 

Date: July 3, 1988
Fatalities: 290
Survivor: 0
Operator: Iran Air
Locations: Iran, Strait of Hormuz

What a clusterfuck  They probably had their defenses on high alert after the attacks on US bases and it caused this mistake, is my theory. No way would they be stupid enough to do this deliberately I hope.

And the US afterwards paid homage to those shooting the plane down. They got shiny new emblems etc, no regrets at all.

I still have have doubt a rocket took the plane down in Iran, but you never know. Lets see what the blackbox reveals. But so so sad nonetheless, so avoidable.

Trump played the almighty Card promising revenge if even 1 base was touched, Iran burned them up and now he wants diplomacy anf figuring something out.......why not this to begin with then?

Tehy even gave the Iraqi's a heads.up that the attack was coming, cuz they respect their sovereignty.......thank god no more happened and RIP to those in the plane.

Lol @ still blaming USA for this. This retaliation campaign has been nothing but disastrous for Iran's global image, reinforcing their fame as terror state with the funeral stampede and downing a civilian plane. Horror show.

So it's interesting that Trump said this way before Iran came to that conclusion. 

So how could Trump know that before hand? 

[Atomiswave 6,117]

now we know the reason, I demand SWIFT AND STRONG Punishment against the AA crew and the officer who OK´ed it. USA shot down our passenger plane in the past, so i could not believe it the same shit would happen to us..... very sad day

I do not accept "Human error"..... this error is horrible and heads must roll !

What global image? It has its Allies thats it. The western powers and media sought to that. And if you take this horrible plane disaster away it was a good response. Trump promised if any bases were touched 52 targest would be hit, he did nothing of sorts and actually went 180....which is fantastic for everyone make no mistake. All this coud have been so avoidable man.........its like fucking age of empires.
