America kills 168 Iranians
Most of us agree that sanctions need to be applied to Iran, as is needed to North Korea and Burma etc. However when these sanctions put at risk the well being of that nation’s citizens it’s clear that sanctions are not the right way.
Today 168 people died in Iran when an old Russian Aircraft from 1987 crashed into the ground creating a massive crater on impact. Much of Iran’s fleet is old and out of date. This causes huge risks for flyers. The oil rich nation could easily upgrade and improve its fleet if it wanted too however sanctions from the US prevents this.
As a result there are virtually no Airbus or Boeing planes in Iran.
The blame for this lies ultimately with the US who refuse to allow planes and their parts into the country. People have died because of this sanction and it has to stop now.
