A US plane has been forced to land in Iran after violating Iranian territory, the Iranian semi-official Fars news agency has reported.
The report said the Falcon aircraft entered Iranian airspace from Turkey, flying at low altitude to avoid radar.
The agency said all those on board were released, without saying when the incident happened.
The Pentagon denied the report, saying all its aircraft were accounted for and none had landed in Iran.
Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    maybe someone was hoping it would get fired upon and prisoners taken?

    ?
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I'm wondering if this is some kind of subliminal news thing. Can't they wait a few minutes....or perhaps an hour (or a few?!!), to verify the details before putting a piece out like this?

    Are the news agencies that horny for a potential conflict with Iran story...how fucked is that

    something seems not right here.

    If it bleeds it leads....war talk, also, = increased circulation & readership.
