Boeing Crash – Trump’s First Direct Murder of Iranian Citizens
By: Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer
Monday’s tragic crash of a Boeing 707 cargo plane in Karaj resulting in the death of 15 of the 16 persons on board is without the least doubt the first direct act of murder of Iranian citizens by the US president, Donald Trump, who ought to be sued at the International Criminal Court for his last May’s cancellation of the 16.6 billion dollar contract signed by the Boeing Aircraft Manufacturing Company in 2016 for supply of 80 planes to the Islamic Republic along with spare parts for Iran’s aging fleet of Boeing jets.
Trump is indeed a bloodthirsty criminal and he should not be allowed to escape justice, especially after yesterday’s tragic crash that has left the families of the victims in profound grief.
According to international laws, in case of a plane crash, the operating company as well as the manufacturer of the aircraft should be held responsible and slammed with lawsuits. The first party for possible mismanagement and the manufacturer for faulty design of the aircraft or its withholding of vital spare parts to the operators.
In the latest crash that has engulfed Iran in grief, it is obvious that the operating party is not at fault and the culprit is the Boeing Company which backtracked on its legal accord to sell the Islamic Republic the latest models of its aircraft in addition to supplying vital spare parts for the older generation of aircraft in order to avoid any risk to the life of the pilots, the crew, and the passengers.
It is crystal clear that Iran has not only been cheated but exposed to deliberate acts of mass murders by Trump who pressured Boeing as well as Europe’s Airbus Consortium to illegally cancel their officially signed commitments to supply planes and spare parts to the Islamic Republic.
Last July, a couple of months after Trump illegally withdrew the US from the 7-nation nuclear accord on Iran’s right to peaceful use of nuclear energy, known as JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action) and started imposing extraterritorial economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic, including cancellation of the aircraft contract, officials in Tehran had spoken of plans to sue Boeing.
At that time, MP Taqi Kabiri, a member of the Iranian parliament’s economic commission, had said the Islamic Republic would pursue legal methods to punish Boeing.
His statement to Press TV reads: "The Islamic Republic will seriously pursue the cancellation of the Boeing agreement through international, legal and judicial tribunals. From the very beginning, we should have gotten a strong guarantee from the aircraft manufacturer [Boeing] so that they would not be able to easily violate their contracts.”
Unfortunately, nothing has been heard after Kabiri’s July 2018 statement, except hearsay of Iran’s intentions, which seemingly didn’t take off from the ground – the result being January 14 Boeing 707 crash in Karaj with tragic loss of life.
It is high time, the concerned officials woke up and took practical measures, not just against the Boeing Company but also against the US and its criminal president Donald the Dotard, who without the least doubt is the actual murderer.
If an Indonesian man whose son died in an Lion Air Plane crash last October 29 has filed a personal lawsuit against the Chicago-based jet manufacturer for the crash of Boeing 737 MAX 8 (Flight 610), then why the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran shouldn’t bring criminal charges against Donald Trump the evil mind behind Boeing’s cancellation of the contract with Iran.
The US should be made to pay and that too heavily for its crimes, whether for the plane crash or for the illegal economic sanctions that are depriving Iran of international banking transactions and consequently of joint industrial projects involving other countries.
