Are we entering the “ignore the problem and hope it goes away” stage of the war?

Not true. Short outgoing phone calls have been happening consistently for my family through the war.

You know the US shot down an Iranian airliner in the past before, right? Then gave the crew medals

In 1988.
In 2020, Iran shot down UAI Flight 752. Killing 176.

People abroad whose visas are up, people rejoining their families, people who were working overseas. It’s a big country with a lot of people and so a lot of unique circumstances that fill planes.

A quick glance at flightradar 24 shows no flights over such a vast country
Also, they shoot anti air there pretty regularly these days so no airline in their right mind would go

There was an A340 from Mahan Air flying from Guangzhou to Tehran which was flying over central Iran like an hour ago. But they turned off the transponder somewhere around Tabas.
Currently there are also 2 planes flying over Iran.

Oh. I stand corrected.
Thank you, so Two planes probably carrying munitions and not people. In a 1500 mile wide country.

Even if you wanted to take such a cynical view, you could've at least considered that no one is insuring such flights. And without insurance, it isn't gonna be worth flying a $200 million plane for negligible money. But hurr durr corporation evil and wants to kill everyone.

Woah woah lets not get too carried away now. Corporations have definitely proved in the past that they are willing to value profits over human life most of time. This is not up for debate full stop. In this specific instance though I do agree with you though.

That would be quite a gamble. Just because you board a civilian airliner does not mean you are safe from US warships. See Iran Air Flight 655.

You’re implying the us would shoot down a commercial airliner on little pretense. I mean I hope not, but that seems outlandish
