DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — U.S. diplomats warned Saturday that commercial airliners flying over the wider Persian Gulf faced a risk of being"misidentified" amidThe warning relayed by U.S. diplomatic posts from the Federal Aviation Administration underlined the risks the current tensions pose to a region crucial to global air travel. It also came as Lloyd's of London warned of increasing risks to maritime shipping in the region.
Iran-aligned rebels in Yemen also claimed responsibility for a drone attack on a crucial Saudi oil pipeline. This all takes root in Trump's decision last year to withdraw the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear accord between Iran and world powers and impose wide-reaching sanctions.from terms of the deal, setting a 60-day deadline for Europe to come up with new terms or it would begin enriching uranium closer to weapons-grade levels. Tehran long has insisted it does not seek nuclear weapons, though the West fears its program could allow it to build atomic bombs.
This presents"an increasing inadvertent risk to U.S. civil aviation operations due to the potential for miscalculation or misidentification," the warning said. It also said aircraft could experience interference with its navigation instruments and communications jamming"with little to no warning."
Iran is dangerous but not I believe a threat, considering that we should want them to think of us better and make it less likely they become a nuclear threat, because they have an often dangerous idealogy and haven't shown responsible behavior. We must prevent nuclear weapon use
They just want to shoot someone, anyone.
Oof
ICYMI:
Amazing how the FAA advisory relayed by the US diplomats is attributed to them in the press and not the FAA after AJEnglish gave a special slant to the FAA May 17 aircraft notice 'FOR OVERWATER AIRSPACE ABOVE THE PERSIAN GULF AND GULF OF OMAN'
It’s a diversion. A smoke screen. Look there! Just don’t look at the Capital this week... Don’t look at delusional Don, Mueller, Barr, little Donnie and Mnuchin.
Proving, once again, that mental health care is lacking in the US.
Just great 😞
Who will the UNITED STATES NAVY shoot down this time, amid the fog of wa... heightened rhetoric?
If they “misidentify” is commercial aircraft for a military one they probably need to be eradicated... kind of like major media outlets missing Hillary and Obama’s complete disregard for the US constitution and trying to over turn a election
Recall USA shot down an airliner there 1988? Yeah - ‘mistaken identity’ AsIf warcrime
So... they’re gonna try and start a war?

In U.S.-Iran Standoff, Gulf States Steer Clear of ConfrontationSaudi Arabia and its Persian Gulf allies haven’t called for a confrontation with Iran over recent attacks in the region that the U.S. has blamed on Tehran, a tact that reflects their limited appetite for another conflict in the war-racked region.

The wars are designed by kleptocrats and powerbrokers. You get to fight and die though. Saudi Arabia is a dumpster fire, why do we keep selling them weapons?
