What we’re going to do here is take a little bit of a leap in our analysis, but the look of the tea leaves coming out of Tuesday night’s events, your author believes, justifies it.
Let’s start not with Iran‘s rather empty missile attack on a pair of military installations in Iraq at which American personnel are stationed, in which 15 missiles were fired and no human casualties were inflicted. Instead, let’s start with that plane.
You know about the plane, right? That would be Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752, which took off from Imam Khomeini Airport in Tehran at 6:12 a.m. local time, accelerated quickly to 275 knots, and reached an altitude of 8,000 feet before its transponder and all radio transmissions abruptly ceased, and video of the plane crashing taken in the early-morning hours showed it as a giant fireball which became an even larger fireball as it hit the ground.
Some 176 souls were lost, 80 of them Iranians and another 63 of them Canadian, believe it or not, along with 11 Ukrainians and 10 Swedes, together with a smattering of other Europeans, Afghans, and others. No Americans were on the flight.
