Reports that the Ukrainian airplane, which crashed 5 hours after the missile attacks, may have been accidentally shot down by Iranian anti-aircraft missiles.
This is what unintended consequences look like when you escalate already tense relations in the region.
3 Brits and over 50 Canadians amongst the 176 deaths. Probably all Muzzies though so nobody cares right?
Iranians carrying Canadian passports travel to Iran at their own risk.

Yeah, they brought it on themselves just like all those Jonestown babies.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Iranian "Canadians" of convenience shot down by their own Iranian brethren, while Iran was attacking Americans.

That's too bad, but not America's problem.

Monte's right. If Iran hadn't escalated things by attacking the US Embassy those people on the plane would still be alive. The embassy attack can also be blamed for all the people trampled at the funeral.

They had sanctuary in Canada, they chose to return to Iran. Not America's problem.

America's problem, no.
America's partial responsibility, perhaps.
Tragic unnecessary loss of life, certainly.
Unless, of course, you are a psychopath devoid of empathy.

A lot of them were part of the 40 Thieves gang, which had dealings with Aladdin and ties to Jafar and Iago. Genie and Jasmine were unavailable for comment.

Iranians launching attacks on US forces, in the process shot down a bunch of Iranians traveling under Canadian passports back to Iran.

Apparently the intel is that they were shot down by a Russian TOR system, NATO reporting name SA-15 Gauntlet

I tell you where this intel is coming from : must be SBIRS

Space Based Infrared System satellites in high orbit

The sensors are so powerful they can detect even local short ranged SAM launches
