Iran will not give black box to Boeing.
They accidentally shot it down?
On purpose since it was Ukraine?

Re: The war with Iran
Jumpy Iranian air defense most likely shot down the plane. Jumpy US forces are careful to not make that mistake again.

Re: The war with Iran
Here's a link to a video from 04Nov2019, two months before Soleimani went ashes to ashes:

Re: The war with Iran
Soleimani set a fine leadership example yesterday when he finally quit smoking.

Re: The war with Iran
I doubt this is going to blow up the way alarmists are saying, but they gotta say so you stay tuned to their channel or website for latest breaking.
HERE'S WHY:
We've been at war (undeclared) with Iran (declared war with US) since 1979, so there's that for starters.
We sent Saddam from a life of opulence into a rat hole from where we yanked him out and strung him up on global TV. And unlike the last administration that sent 100s of millions of dollars to Iran as a parting gift and peace gesture, current administration sent Iran a message of Soleimani in pieces. Their current leaders aren't ready to be glorified as martyrs by an America that has the ability and will to seriously mess them up.
Iran already has weekly Death to America (and Israel) rallies. So what's different this week?
Soleimani commanded the many Iranian proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, and in Africa. Khamanei is a bit too distracted now trying to keep that together to start a full blown revenge war.
Iran can't attack US without attacking Israel as well as a face saving honorific and they're not ready to deal with an angry IDF air force.
Iranian people hated Soleimani but didn't dare speak out. The regime won't risk worsening an already agitated and rioting populace to avenge a hated leadership figure.
What will change? Cyberwar is going to ramp up. US can give back much more than we get, but in a lesser developed country like Iran there's not as much pain inflicted to the populace by grid attacks.
Iran could try to agitate world financial and oil markets by a Straits of Hormuz gambit and could be successful blackmailing an already cowering EU into putting pressure on US. Problem with that strategy is POTUS don't give no nevermind to what the EU wants.
Yes, Iran will continue to be an ankle biter with terrorist attacks against US and allied assets, including SA. They may get more ambitious with a one-off terrorist attack to show they're to be taken seriously, but their leadership knows escalating much beyond could be a regime ending move...and their regime isn't supposed to end until the arrival of the 12th Mahdi.
So the immediate casualty is to credibility of Americans that are suddenly sympathetic to an Iranian regime that wants all of us dead. American apologists to world and Iran look sort of silly right now.
