Iran blames Western sanctions for fatal crash of US helicopter carrying Ebrahim Raisi

[Della]

Why is Israel so afraid of Iran? Why is it constantly trying to get the US into a war with them, as it did with Iraq?

[Della]

Yeah. As if Russia and China wouldn’t give them everything they need.
I can pretty much guarantee Iran has succeeded in circumventing those “sanctions”. They have managed to get what they need to create a nuclear program, they really can’t get a new get parts for their choppers?
As I said, their specialty is playing victim. As if any sanctions they face are uncalled for and they’re being unjustly punished.

It’s not a money issue. The sanctions include prohibiting US companies from selling to Iran.

ETA: I know the AP article is old, but it still kinda bottom lines it. The second article explains how it affects parts for civil aviation and how Iran has tried circumventing the sanctions.

And even that is BS. As I said, they fund Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis in Yemen. They invest billions into creating an atom bomb. They invested heavily on infiltrating American and European elite universities. They really have no money for functional aircraft? They just attacked Israel with 300+ projectiles. But they can’t get a new chopper

If the aircrafts are subpar due to sanctions, why eould they have their president fly in one? So either it's a blatant lie or the president's people killed him.

The U.S places “sanctions” (and then releases billions of dollars to them…) and the U.N makes Iran chair of the Human Rights Committee and the Disarmament Committee
Poor little terrorists being “sanctioned”.

Jealous because the UN doesn't cow to Zionism like most of the rest of the world?

People really need to take a hard look at the US Iranian history.

"Israel has not officially commented on the incident, though an official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Reuters news agency, “It wasn’t us.”
