Iran leader accuses U.S. of Terrorism! Claims to have Proof!

And of course you have proof of your claims, right?

And that picture proves your claims? Don't you think if it was shot down, it would be a little more messy than that? And that the helicopter, also shot down by brave Soldiers of the Soviet Army according to you, would just happen to crash right next to the 130? And that only 8 Troops were killed?

For some reason I don't buy the whole special ops helicopter crashing into tanker plane story (why would an American tanker plane be refueling transport helicopters over Iranian territory?).

They weren't refueling over Iranian territory. They were being refueled on the ground. The 130's had fuel bladders in the back (they weren't designated tankers). Helicopters were being moved around, dust kicked up, and an accident happened.

The fact is that it was a special operation. Official stories on special ops are BS. From what I've been told, the official story here is also PR.

Right. And the truth is what?

Don't you find it strange how special ops helicopters always go down in a crash and not from enemy fire in official stories?

Nah, not really. A million moving parts made by the lowest bidder? I'm surprised we don't lose more.

.Stealthy US special forces insertion into Iran via helicopters. They must have been some mighty stupid pilots to have tried to fly their choppers, in tandem, into obvious destruction in a sand storm. You would think that if this was the case, that they may have tried to land on the ground and wait out the storm instead of, you know, killing themselves.

You know why they continued into the sand storm?

They didn't know the size of the storm, and they were on a timetable. They didn't want to fall behind and lose the window for the insertion.
