Parenthetically, to the best of my knowledge the US has never issued a comparable apology for the fate of Iran Air Flight 655.

Perhaps.. Trump seems to be flailing around.. I have seen zero evidence that he's a negotiator.
He appeared to have tried with N Korea.
Oddly....many lefties here saw that as cozying up to a dictator.
And even opposed it.
I'm saying three things:
- The irresponsible escalation from President Bone Spur was guaranteed to incur collateral damage.
- The (coerced) honesty of the Iranian regime stands in sharp contract to the pathological dishonesty of the Trump Administration.
- Those who convulsively rally around this sick president too often demonstrate multiple and serious defects, not the least of which is rank hypocrisy.

To negotiate with anyone you also have to listen. Trump doesn't listen to anyone.
Reagan did....

Wouldn't this be an opportune time for Trump to call Iran,
& say "Let's stop this madness, & talk about peaceful
resolution of our differences.". Think it'll happen?

MH17 is way too political to clear the truth. Interesting, Ukraine is involved again...Remembering Korean plane killed by Soviets...

The U.S. did indeed express regret for the loss of human life as well as having paid $71 million in 1996 towards the rightful heirs of those whom the U.S. military had inadvertently blasted to death over the Persian Gulf near where the U.S. and Iran had been engaged in naval combat.
Do you seriously think the same consideration will be given by Iran for having blasted away a jetliner as the consideration the U.S. gave after the U.S. military blasted away a jetliner.?

You cannot resson with TDS.
As soon as that was said they gave the game away. The aerospace commander apparently admitted to the error on Wednesday yet they still lied:

Creos see no evidence for evolution
Although the missiles might be different, the mode of operation might be the same (effects on aircraft structure) as to show both were at least ground-to-air missiles rather than the explanation apparently given - missiles fired from an aircraft. But as you say, I doubt this will affect that affair.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
If you have any actual evidence, you could actually try presenting it, rather than whatever this is.

A US bomber taking off from the airport in Tehran?
The person who fired the missiles apparently thought it was an American cruise missile:
Iran's admission of guilt over plane crash sparks unrest in Tehran
A missile operator acting alone because of a “communications breakdown” had mistaken the Boeing 737 for a cruise missile heading towards a sensitive IRGC site, and only had 10 seconds to decide whether to fire, he said. “He was obliged to make contact and get verification. But apparently, his communications system had some disruptions. Either the ‘jamming’ system was the cause or the network was busy,” he said.
Flight tracking website FlightRadar24 showed the plane following its normal route and travelling at just over 500 kmh – far slower than a cruise missile. Nine flights had left Tehran’s Imam Khomeini international airport that morning before the Ukrainian airliner without encountering trouble.
The mind boggles as to them not securing the safety of planes taking off from their own airports.

Thank you.
After giving this some thought, I no longer believe this had anything to do with nervous reactions.
I think this was retaliation by those who worshiped their assassinated hero.
The claim seems bogus.
For one thing, it was night - dark, so how was the plane's maneuvering detected?
Secondly, is this the first plane along this route, in all the history of Canadian flights?
I don't think so.
I think some who though Qassem Suleimani was their 'god' decided. "You know what...
. Casualties don't need to be in uniform. This is war.Just my opinion.

Yes. I think they are lying - Once, twice, three times. Wait for the fourth.
