Innocent civilians are now dead because they were caught in the middle of an unnecessary and unwanted military tit for tat.
My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of all 176 souls lost aboard this flight.

Liz Wheeler of OANN replied:
No, innocent civilians are dead because Iran has waged acts of war on the U.S. for decades & Obama’s appeasement led Iran to believe they could kill us without consequences. If Iran hadn’t killed Americans, this wouldn’t have happened. It’s not a “both sides” thing. Period.
