Such an incident would have created an occasion for Trump to give the American people a special 4th of July fireworks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">On July 3 1988 the guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes shot down the civil Iranian Flight 655 with 290 people on board. The U.S. claimed that the plane&#8217;s transponder was signaling an Iranian military identification code, that it was seemingly attacking the Vincennes, that the ship warned the plane 12 times, and that the ship was in international waters when the incident happened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The crew of the Vincennes received medals for killing the Iranian civilians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Investigations <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/ia800304.us.archive.org\/10\/items\/ussvincennescg4900mcca\/ussvincennescg4900mcca.pdf\">showed<\/a><\/strong><\/span> (pdf) that all the above claims <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignpolicyjournal.com\/2017\/07\/03\/the-forgotten-us-shootdown-of-iranian-airliner-flight-655%c2%ad\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>were false<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. The shoot down was intentional. Iran sued the US in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over it. The case was settled in 1996 when the U.S. agreed to apologize and to pay $61.8 million to the families of the victims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">On June 20 a large U.S. reconnaissance drone, accompanied by a manned U.S. military airplane, flew into Iranian air space east of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moonofalabama.org\/2019\/06\/iran-shoots-down-strategic-us-drone-is-ready-for-war-puts-maximum-pressure-on-trump-.html\">shot the drone down<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. The U.S. threatened to strike Iran over the incident but Trump <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moonofalabama.org\/2019\/06\/white-house-pushes-trump-pulled-back-story-he-likely-never-approved-to-strike-iran.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>did not follow through<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">There were reports that some people in the White House doubted that the U.S. Central Command, the U.S. military command for the Middle East, told it the full truth about the incident. Two days before the drone incident happened Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the former CIA director, had <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moonofalabama.org\/2019\/06\/trump-fires-shanahan-pompeo-for-sec-def-bolton-to-state.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>unusual talks<\/strong><\/span><\/a> with the U.S. Central Command. This led to speculations that the incident was designed to provoke Iran into a shoot down and to push Trump into a war on Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The case today is not in doubt. The U.S. military definitely tried to provoke Iran into shooting down another one of its planes.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_191055\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/USAF-Rivet-Joint.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-191055\" class=\"wp-image-191055\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/USAF-Rivet-Joint-768x745.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/USAF-Rivet-Joint-768x745.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/USAF-Rivet-Joint-300x291.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/USAF-Rivet-Joint.jpg 772w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-191055\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Manu G\u00f3mez @GDarkconrad &#8211; <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GDarkconrad\/status\/1146347262861336577\">9:17 UTC &#8211; 3 Jul 2019<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">USAF Rivet Joint tracking over The #PersianGulf, spoof Hex Cod 730000 C\/S IRI00061<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The US Airforce <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Boeing_RC-135#RC-135V\/W_Rivet_Joint\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>RC-135V Rivet Joint<\/strong><\/span><\/a> are signal intelligence planes that snoop on other countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_191056\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rivetjoint.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-191056\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-191056\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rivetjoint-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rivetjoint-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rivetjoint-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rivetjoint-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rivetjoint.jpg 1095w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-191056\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The plane flew over the islands Abu Musa and Sirri in the Persian Gulf which are Iranian territory and Iranian airspace.
