FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “On the anniversary of this tragic event, Iran’s Foreign Ministry … regards the new round of pressure and sanctions against the Iranian nation in line with the hostile approach of US officials towards our country, particularly after the victory of the Islamic Revolution [in 1979],” said the ministry in a statement on Monday.
It added that this inhumane crime is a clear evidence of the US failure to remain committed to legal and moral international principles which “will be recorded in the historical memory of the Iranian nation and in the world public opinion forever.”
The US statesmen should reach an understanding that their plots and evil acts in the region and animosity towards nations will only spread the wave of Awakening among the regional countries, the ministry pointed out.
The resistance and continuing progress of the Iranian nation are clear signs of the ineffectiveness of such illegitimate and inhumane measures against free and independent nations, it added.
Iran Air Flight 655 was on a routine flight from Iran’s southwestern city of Bandar Abbas to Dubai when it was shot down by the United States Navy’s missile cruiser USS Vincennes on July 3, 1988, killing all 290 passengers, including 66 children, and crewmembers onboard.
Commanded by Captain William C. Rogers III, the ship fired two SM-2MR surface-to-air missiles at the plane, killing passengers from Iran, Italy, the UAE, India, Pakistan and the former Yugoslavia in a tragic event — ranked the seventh deadliest aviation accident.
US officials at the time claimed their naval officers had mistaken the Airbus A300 for an Iranian F-14 Tomcat fighter jet.
They also claimed that the Vincennes crew had been under a simultaneous psychological condition called ‘scenario fulfillment,’ and had therefore confused their training scenario with reality and responded accordingly.
