It's not really a UX error when your helicopter-carrier invades Iran after one of your helicopters invaded Iran. In wartime. What were these warships even doing in the PERSIAN gulf? And why do they shoot Iranian airplanes in Iranian airspace while they themselves are in Iran?
I image "UX error" wouldn't cut it if a chinese missile cruiser shot down an US airliner while steaming up the Hudson.
- bonzini 3y agoPresumably some mission during the Iran–Iraq war? Iraq was an ally of the US at the time.

- kortilla 3y agoThey were in wartime, you answered your own question. >I image "UX error" wouldn't cut it if a chinese missile cruiser shot down an US airliner while steaming up the Hudson. Yes, that would be up for debate if the US were in an active war with China.
- knallfrosch 3y agoIran was at war with Iraq, not the US with Iran.
- AdamN 3y agoThe US and Iran had been in a cold war since 1979 with flareups the entire time all the way through to the current day.
- throwawayqqq11 3y agoThe mentioned iran-iraq war was conducted by then us-ally saddam husein on behalf of the us. The us where the aggressor. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n4H_E8b-qmo https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n4H_E8b-qmo
- nova22033 3y agothese warships even doing in the PERSIAN gulf Iran doesn't own the PERSIAN gulf any more than India owns the INDIAN ocean.
- naasking 3y agoSure, so if a Iranian helicopter carrier parked itself in international waters near New York City, everyone would be totally chill with that right?
- nova22033 3y agointernational waters near New York City, everyone would be totally chill with that right? I don't know why you think this is a gotcha...The USN would probably sniff around but that's it..They're international waters
- naasking 3y agoYes, but it's also Iran. What you're not getting is the "mortal enemy moving a war machine right at your gates" bit.
- r2_pilot 3y agoWhat you are failing to comprehend is that the United States has a policy of enforcing international naval freedom, and routinely transits international waters near many nations. The US has no issue with any vessel's location in international waters, regardless of what nation.
