#Iran admits downing a civilian jetliner #PS752 after calling the US and others claim as 'psychological warfare'.

Ops Martyr #Soliemani has been a sobering wakeup call for #Tehran.

11 revenge scenarios yet to be realised while some 200 Iranians already dead, stampede included.

Religious fanatics - in #India and #Iran both - failed to act professionally in brief, offensive battles.

Both #Delhi and #Tehran made catastrophic decisions.

After initial denial, both had to admit failure.

The world isn't safe with #RSS, #Shiite extremists in power.

#Stop

#Iran can't get away by scapegoating a low-ranking official, downing an enemy plane is never a tactical decision. An officer of the level of major general or brigadier would have approved and directed. Allowing field commanders to act on their own proves lack of professionalism.

Unlike strategic partner #India, which shot down its air force chopper MI-17 killing half a dozen personnel, #Iran targeted a civilian, commercial foreign airliner (#PS752). Few would feel confident with Iran military courts probing, determining and administering justice.

Besides the personnel at the air def battery in #Tehran, #Iran's ministry of defence (govt) is also responsible for the blunder. It should have suspended civilian air traffic. With its signature over-confidence, it has opted for self-imposed isolation vis-a-vis airspace. #ICAO

What's significantly different from #Russia's downing of #MH17 is early analysis of huge open-source evidence & its analysis, that forced #Iran to admit. #Tehran has indirectly called out #Moscow. Now begins the process of healing and compensations of the bereaved. #PS752

Right in believing that #Iran's govt and the #IRGC are a threat to its citizens and the world. The religious fanatics are unfit to hold power as they are in #India too. Since the 1979 revolution till todate, thousands have been killed in rash revenge sans due judicial process.

Thanks to international pressure and swift open-source investigations that #Iran's admitted killing innocent people, especially its own #citizens, for the first time since 1979. Just weeks ago, it brutally acted against #IranProtests, allegedly killing over 1,600 sans remorse.

What's should be the state of morale of #Iran after its rogue general, responsible for deaths of hundreds of thousands was killed on a foreign land, its other general boasts harboring proxies in neighboring countries and shot down a civilian airliner? #Soleimani #PS752 #QudsForce

Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme leader of #Iran, is the commander-in-chief. The #IRGC and its subsidiaries report directly to him. He inspires religious fanaticism and militancy. Will he apologise to Iranians and the world? #PS752

Now the probe will turn to the #Iran|ian nationals aboard the fateful #PS752? Who're they? Was there any dissident or defector aboard? Did the decision to shoot down the jetliner result from late realisation about an imp asset fleeing with state secrets? It's a new pandora's box.

The passenger manifest of the flight is extreme imp. #Iran has gone after dissident citizen without excessive use of force, in disregard for where they are and what to do to eliminate them. Was something very imp defecting with secrets on #PS752 on the heals of an impending war?
