The principals behind the proxies are known to all parties, but there is no direct challenge. The downing of flight 752 would not have happened if America did not advertise their assassination of a high ranking Iranian military leader and essentially challenge Iran to do anything about it and 176 innocent third parties would not have died.

    It is your fault. If you never woke up that day then it would not have happened.
    I am just using your logic or your Iranian logic.

    Provoking a less than perfectly stable nation into defending its honor - face saving, is bound to result in unpredictable consequences. This is a known fact, which is why proxies are used and the puppeteers don't publicly out themselves. Trump may feel that being a bull in a china shop is the 'direct' approach, but in reality how people react when forced to react, can be unpredictable and that is foreseeable. Certainly Trump was assured that there would be no direct consequence to America. Iran is not that powerful, but there is no way to examine this issue that doesn't ultimately conclude that being circumspect would have preserved the lives of those unwitting passengers and flight crew.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    I get it. We should just appease them. LOL You must really hate the USA because any idiot knows that Iran acts like a dog and when it smells fear then it attacks. Israel did nothing to Iran but Iran is funding the terror groups against them.
