    Then you have must of forgotten Iran Air Flight 655 that was shot down by the USS Vincennes . Iran Air Flight 655 was a civilian airliner shot down by US missiles on Sunday July 3, 1988 over the Strait of Hormuz killing 290 Iranian civilians . The US claimed it was mistaken for a combat aircraft , the entire crew of the USS Vincennes were awarded medals for valour .

    Maybe the Iranians just wanted those US ships to stay away from their civilian airports ?

    Five Iranian speed boats vs three American war vessels.

    No exploding Iranian boats.

    No American-exploded Iranian boats.

    American target practice not required.

    You have no reason to believe Iranian agents were involved directly in the attack on the Marine Embassy.
    Whereas, American military forces were directly responsible for the downing of the Iran Air flight.

    My reason to believe is because a judge has determined it after a trial. But you don't need a trial to know that Iran has been engaging in international terrorism for decades, and is right now the biggest bankroller of terror around the world.

    Yeah because after all the boat harrassing incident and shooting down flight 655 are directly correlated, and can be logically compared in this context.

    Publicizing the incident is the first step towards confrontation.

    Iran may have funded Hezballah, but did not participate directly in the attack(no iranian bodies found, No Iranian suicide bombers) , despite the judge's findings. just like the US provided hardware and Information to Iraq in the Iran Iraq war. Its pretty much the equivalent.

    See how stupid the Iranian's are? Their national TV is claiming the video was a fake even while several Iranian heads of state, including their defense minister, said the incident was not unusual.

    Just how dumb can they be???

    Does that apply to the US as well?

    Should terrorist attacks in the US be viewed with indifference, since you are asking for it by invading and occupying other countries?

    I don't think this harassment was ordered by Iran. It was some hot shot unit of crazy bastards that did it on a dare. Some of Iran's military units operate independently of the main force.

    The IRGC are better trained and are under the direct control of the supreme leader (Mahdi's boss).

    You think they did all those aggressive moves which have the potential to spark that gas-filled area (pun intended) all by their own? They have better discipline than that.

    Or simply doing their job and protecting Iranian sovereignty against an aggressive predatory nation .
    No Iran was innocent
    Send the Bill to I$rael .
    Iran was innocent .
    As America keeps interfering it will get what it asks for , it always happens the Romans got slaughtered by the Germans at the Teutonborg Forest the British got massacred in the Khyber Pass by Afghans , the Nazis at Stalingrad , the US will get it in Iran or Syria , Venezuela maybe Cuba.

    Did the US strip the medals after finding out it was a civilian aircraft that was brought down?

    Does the US give out medals for killing innocent civilians?
