Iran and the Iranian people continue to be the victims of US terrorism which over the past forty years has assumed different shapes, such as political, economic, cultural, media, military and etc.
But this kind of terrorism has failed to make a dent in the determination of the Islamic Republic, which today on the fateful 3rd of July commemorates the criminal downing of Iran Air Flight 655 with 297 passengers on board, at a time when Washington is again playing with fire in our region by violating Iran’s airspace and sabotaging oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman.
Now we have a special feature on the 31st anniversary of American missile attack on Iran’s Airbus-300.
Today is the tragic 3rd of July on which exactly 31 years ago the regular three-days-a-week Bandar Abbas-Dubai, Iran Air Flight 655 suddenly found its course changed in midair and was deflected off its destination, which it never reached – not by any technical error or misjudgment by its pilot, but by the state terrorism of the United States of America.
Although the Airbus-300 splintered on contact with two heat-seeking missiles fired by the USS Vincennes and crashed into the waters of the Persian Gulf along with the bodies of the 297 men, women, children, and babes on board, the flight together with the souls of its passengers, gently alighted at the gates of Paradise.
The passengers aboard achieved immortal martyrdom, but like all martyrs, they were the victims of brutal and bestial persons devoid of any conscience and humanitarian sentiments.
The tragedy is that the terrorist who ordered the firing of the missiles, Captain Will Rogers, was later awarded a medal of honour for his cowardly act by the US regime.
Commander Lustig, the air-warfare coordinator, even won the US navy's Commendation Medal for what the criminals in the White House shamelessly called “heroic achievement,” lauding his “ability in quickly and precisely complete the firing procedure” on a large passenger aircraft gently ascending its commercial air corridor.
As usual, the Americans, who have no inhibitions in shedding innocent blood, lied and frequently changed their statements. It means that the present incumbent in the White House, Donald Trump, is not the first US president to utter lies in public, but the most notorious of all liars as is evident from his denial of facts, blaming of others for Washington’s crimes, and constant dodging of truth, whether concerning Iran’s peaceful nuclear project, whether the attack by CENTCOM terrorists on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, and whether the violation of Iran’s airspace by a highly sophisticated American spy drone that met its deserving fate by being brought down in Iranian waters by Iran’s ever-vigilant defence personnel.
In July 1988, after having criminally downed the Iranian passenger plane, the chief liar of those days, Ronald Reagan and his administration of liars, initially claimed to have targeted what they called "an aggressive Iranian jet fighter coming in at the USS Vincennes. Then they called it a case of mistaken identity by their radars that are supposed to detect even the minutest details of all flying objects. Then they denied that the American warship had entered Iranian waters for carrying out this act of state terrorism.
Whatever Washington has said over the past three decades, including its sheepish admission that its sophisticated vessel had indeed entered Iranian territorial waters and positioned itself in advance under the arc of the regular commercial flight with the intention of shooting it down, it has yet to offer an official apology to the Iranian nation and the government for its unpardonable crime against humanity.
Not that the Islamic Republic expects the Great Satan to drop its hostility towards the Iranian people who have been the targets of US state terrorism ever since the coup 66 years ago in 1953 to reinstall the fugitive Pahlavi potentate.
The Muslim people of Iran, whose grassroots Islamic movement ended in 1979, once and for all, the US stranglehold on their homeland, very well know the devilish designs of the regimes that march in and out of the White House.
Iran, which for the past 40 years has successfully made all American plans go awry, thanks to its firm faith in God Almighty, is determined to defeat every sinister move made by Uncle Sam and its surrogates in the region, as it marches steadfastly towards the pinnacles of progress in various scientific and technological fields, in the face of the futile sanctions by the present thuggish administration of Donald Trump, which has resorted to economic terrorism against the Iranian people
Islamic Iran is confident of the ultimate victory and the evaporation of the inflated power of the super-terrorist called the US, as was the case with Saddam and the Ba'th minority regime in neighbouring Iraq, on whose side the Americans had blatantly interfered during in the closing days of the 8-year imposed war by scuttling the merchant vessel "Iran Ajor", attacking Iranian oil platforms in the Persian Gulf, and finally criminally downing the Iranian passenger plane.
Today, it is clear that despite its military misadventures in the region, the brutalities of the Zionist usurper regime against the sons of the soil, the Palestinians, and the bloodbath unleashed in Yemen by its other terrorist proxy Saudi Arabia, Washington has achieved nothing but disgrace and humiliation, thanks to the inspiration the people of the region draw from the Islamic Revolution of Iran.
It is obvious that it is Right that eventually triumphs over Brutal and Deceitful Might. On the eve of July 4, which today's illegally expanded USA celebrates as the Day of Declaration of Independence from the British for the 13 rebellious colonies that made up the New England States, the Free World very well knows that July 3 is the Day of Eternal Shame for the US.
There is still one last chance for the Donald Trump Administration to contemplate on the crimes of his predecessors and offer apology to Iran and the Iranian people before it is too late. Another blundering move by him on the pattern of his predecessors and he would be presiding over the ignominious end of the US – history's most evil power.
The souls of the passengers of Flight 655 are watching from the Divine Court of Justice the unfolding drama on Planet Earth, where unfortunately, the United Nations, especially its affiliate the International War Crimes Tribunal, has practically done nothing to put the US and the gangs of criminals that rule it, in the dock.
