Why did Iran target a Ukranian airline?

Iran has admitted "unintentionally" shooting down a Ukrainian passenger jet, killing all 176 people on board.

An investigation found that "missiles fired due to human error", President Hassan Rouhani said. He described the crash as an "unforgivable mistake".

The military said the jet turned towards a sensitive site belonging to Iran's Revolutionary Guards and was then mistaken for a cruise missile.

Iran had previously rejected suggestions that it was to blame.

The downing of Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 on Wednesday came just hours after Iran carried out missile strikes on two airbases housing US forces in Iraq.

The strikes were a response to the killing of senior Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike in Baghdad on 3 January.

Jon, Jane, Wade and Don discuss the weight of the strategic killing of Soleimani, the outcome of the death of a top military leader and the reaction by the Iranian people

over the government lying to them about taking responsibility.  Don insists that International law must be followed and respected, Jane discusses key UN Charter statements regarding military confrontations in a foreign land.  Jon talks about what he thinks is a pragmatic purpose in the Mid East by Trump taking out a dangerous man.

Jon talks about US gov't intent and how that may play out agst a hostile  nation.
