(1/2) On #ThisDayInHistory in 1988, near the end of the #IranIraqWar, the #USSVincennes intentionally and maliciously shot down an Iranian passenger jet, killing all 290 people aboard, including 66 children. The US gov. has never apologized to #Iran for this unprovoked #WarCrime.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1988, the #USSVincennes shot down #IranAir #Flight655 with no justification, killing all 290 civilians aboard. This took place in Iranian waters and airspace, its perpetrators were honoured as heroes, and the US has never apologized. We are a #RogueState.
