آن ۵۲ نفر که سالم به وطنشان بازگشتند، فقط زمانبندی بازگشتشان رئیسجمهور کارتر را تکدورهای کرد.
اما اگر قرار باشد به گذشته بازگردیم و بنا بر شمردن باشد؛ داغ ۲۹۰ جانباخته پرواز ir655 عمیقتر، بیشتر و تازهتر است.
بلاهای غیبی و اهداف عینی هم در منطقه و جهان فراوانند. https://t.co/mkGoU0noWj
If we were to return to the past, and counting is matter, the grievance for the loss of those passengers of flight No: IR655 would be more fresher, and deeper. Unknown disaster and tangible targets are abundant in the region."
....targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!

The Iran Air Flight 655 was an Airbus A300B2 civilian aircraft flying in Iranian airspace over the Strait of Hormuz from the port city of Bandar Abbas to Dubai, carrying 274 passengers and 16 crew members on July 3, 1988, when a US Navy guided-missile cruiser, USS Vincennes, fired missiles at it, killing all the 290 on-board.
US officials claimed the warship had mistaken the passenger plane for a warplane, even though the warship was equipped with highly advanced radar systems and electronic battle gear at the time of the attack.
US did not admit legal liability or formally apologize to Iran. In fact, a year later, the captain of the USS Vincennes, William C. Rogers, was cleared of any wrongdoing in the incident, and was even awarded America’s Legion of Merit medal by then US President George Bush for his “outstanding service.”
