Boris is doing his eh,uh, blustering stop start pish ruffling his hair act while saying nothing at all. What an absolutely useless prick. Corbyn asked some good reasonable questions, I am not a fan of both but these questions should be allowed in the house. Corbyn lacks the killing blow though. The legality issue is a justified question in international law. We have been there before with Blair.

Trump did not look too cocky on tonight's news, and his language was reminiscent of somebody who had just had the sht kicked out of them, but still wanted to save face.
When he said Iran has stood down, it sounded more like a plea than a victorious statement. I suspect he wants this all to go away very quickly.

Johnson is in a bit of bother though, as Trump has now publicly instructed him to withdraw from the nucular deal with Iran.

As for the plane, the only way they would know is if they were actually there. What proof are they offering?

Would tie in with the fact that the flight data shows a normal take-off and ascent, and the fact that no distress calls were sent.
Iranians were quick to jump in suggesting engine failure, when it was clear to see from flight data that an engine failure was highly unlikely to be the cause.

We are in 2020 and so much talk nowadays is about state actors carrying out assymetric and cyber warfare. All the major powers are reputed to be investing loads in how to get into other nations’ energy systems, communication systems, military command and control systems etc.
Would it take that much to hack into the tech of these missiles and have a go at steering it into international flight paths?
The question then would be who benefits? The Americans would be a simplistic answer but Russia have their history with Ukraine and want to retain influence in Iran as a proxy (while Iran probably don’t want to be anyone’s proxy).
Even more convoluted conspiracy theories on a postcard please. £5 book token for the most complicated yet slightly plausible!There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

I'd imagine that the Iranian air defences were on high alert immediately after they'd bombed US targets in Iraq. Easy to imagine that someone might have mistakenly armed their GTA with wrong settings or there was a fault in the target recognition system. I don't think there's more to this appalling tragedy than that.

How far back do you want to go with that question?
IF it was an Iranian missile then it’s pretty clear it’s on them. Or indeed we could blame the Russians for selling them the missiles.
Iranian flight 655 was shot down by the US in error after the cruiser had been attacked by Iranian speedboats...if we are to follow the Trump started it logic we would need to blame the Iranians for that one even although it was clearly a US missile fired from a US cruiser.

Russia is their only viable supplier. Especially as the Russians are being canny. They have sold the Turks some of their Air Defence Systems. Likewise the Syrians. I’d say they are building a formidable presence in the Middle East. They have a Mediterranean port in Syria now as well.
