Unforgotten crime: US downing of Iranian airliner

On 3 July, 1988, Iran Air Flight 655, flying from Tehran to Dubai, was shot down by the USS Vincennes, a huge United States missile cruiser.

All 290 people aboard the Iranian airliner were martyred, including 66 children, and 38 people of non-Iranian nationality. Since then the US has neither apologized nor taken responsibility for this crime
