Even Iran is now saying it was malfunction and had nothing to do with terrorism or anything: https://saidit.net/s/WorldNews/comments/2167/ukrainian_plane_crash_that_killed_177_today_in/

Just bad timing, I guess? Either that or they're covering it up to try and de-escalate. Downing a passenger plane to initiate a war wouldn't be beyond what warmongers have tried to do before to initiate wars

Well the first thing that stands out is: Ukraine.

I said in another thread that this could all be one big "deal".

Take out Soleimani for Khomeini, put on a good show -> oil deal (because Venezuela take over failed, lol).

The embassy dust-up was a complete staged event from start to finish. from the second they made the green zone it was an impenetrable fortress. There were spec-ops standing there watching the protesters, the cans they were firing were nothing. The signs and flags were all brand new.

Perhaps "deal with some of our Ukraine witnesses" was part of the deal.

Take out Soleimani for Khomeini

Come again? You think the US did this as a favor to the leader of Iran because he didn't like that general? Interesting theory, not heard that one before.

Could have been a favour since the general was pretty independent of the government - and most likely the thing that haunted the back of Khomeini's mind (in terms of a "future" coup). Plus he was loved - so instead of that love being used for a revolution - use it to unify your people...

Or - it was the "cost" of making a deal - US wanted him gone maybe?

Or, least humane of all - he was the (primary) person who would stand up to a US/Iran deal. and was removed to the ensure the deal.

Interesting ideas.

I guess I've been seeing it as a removal of someone who has been a pest to US interests. And then it's also being used to polarize both everyday Iranians AND everyday Americans in to supporting a nonsense war that only Billionaires would really benefit from.

Yes, I think it is the latter. It will be used to polarize Iranians and American's against each other. At least we will see more of this in the media.
