Bit of misinformation around here. The Iranian passenger plane had their Transponder in the auto position which transmitted in the alpha mode while on the ground. The US destroyer picked up that transmission while the plane was on the ground and locked on to that signal at the airport. At the same time there was an Iranian fighter on the ground with its transponder transmitting in the alpha mode as well. After the Iranian passenger plane took off its transponder switched to the Charlie mode which would have shown the destroyer crew that it is indeed a passenger plane, but the destroyer mistook the alpha mode transponder on the ground for the transponder on that Iranian passenger plane. Thinking it’s a fighter they tried to communicate and warn it on different frequencies but never received an answer (the passenger plane was on another frequency). The radar signal showed the plane heading in the direction of the destroyer and climbing but the US Navy crew mistakenly thought it’s descending towards them. After warning the plane further about their defensive measures the destroyer crew deployed a surface to air missile to defend themselves thinking they were under attack. Not a complete story but a rough overview how they mistook a passenger plane for a Iranian fighter. originally posted by a user of the name ''Dare Devil''
Coma Reborn Well that might be a semi-explanation but not an excuse. Since when can you shoot an unidentified target? But then again, since when does the US government care about human rights, international law, not commiting war crimes and common decency?
@@TheOwenMajor No. The deal was a win-win for the US, and the ME region.

There was NOTHING to loose, only to gain. Now Iran has a valid reason to be aggressive.
@@sarim1967 the deal allowed iran to have an actual working economy. donald trump did the best by canceling that agreement, in a few years the iranians will be so poor that they won't have the power to say *no* to america. you have to see the bigger picture here, if iran is forced to spend more on the military to keep the us out, then they will starve themself like north korea does, and that nuclear program will never succeed if your best scientists are running away. the deal might have set back the iranians years

Thanks vox. That was helpfully informative! I didn’t realize the further context of recent events to this scale until now. Let’s hope it doesn’t boil over.
Not only did Iraq try to break the stalemate by focusing on tankers, but also focusing on civilian targets hoping Iran would give in. And that is a main reason Iran is also very hostile against Iraq.
I mean it was Iran who decided to continue the tanker "war" thing, Iran should have just tried to do something more peaceful, not just escalate it and make them look more like the bad guy.
Iran did seize a British tanker and it was in was mentioned in the video. But why the fact that Britain did the same weeks before was skipped? Doesn't seem very objective.
bruh I could not deal if the guy in the beginning called me up and was like “uhhhh obey and it’ll be chill ... umm here are the coordinates...I think?” Like he sounded SO unsure. If you’re going to take over my ship at least do it confidently. I already don’t know what’s going on, and this guy sounded like he was doing a prank call with his friends whispering coordinates and instructions in the background
Just to clarify for some people here. "Alter course to 360 degrees" is different to "make a 360 degree turn".

" Mistakenly shot down iranian passenger plane "
Me: UnHuh! We believe that.
Liberal
Bit of misinformation around here.
The Iranian passenger plane had their Transponder in the auto position which transmitted in the alpha mode while on the ground. The US destroyer picked up that transmission while the plane was on the ground and locked on to that signal at the airport. At the same time there was an Iranian fighter on the ground with its transponder transmitting in the alpha mode as well. After the Iranian passenger plane took off its transponder switched to the Charlie mode which would have shown the destroyer crew that it is indeed a passenger plane, but the destroyer mistook the alpha mode transponder on the ground for the transponder on that Iranian passenger plane. Thinking it’s a fighter they tried to communicate and warn it on different frequencies but never received an answer (the passenger plane was on another frequency). The radar signal showed the plane heading in the direction of the destroyer and climbing but the US Navy crew mistakenly thought it’s descending towards them. After warning the plane further about their defensive measures the destroyer crew deployed a surface to air missile to defend themselves thinking they were under attack.
Not a complete story but a rough overview how they mistook a passenger plane for a Iranian fighter.
originally posted by a user of the name ''Dare Devil''
Coma Reborn Well that might be a semi-explanation but not an excuse. Since when can you shoot an unidentified target? But then again, since when does the US government care about human rights, international law, not commiting war crimes and common decency?
