I doubt the Canadians would take on Iran unless they challenged them to a hockey match. 🤣

Maybe the Canuks can call Jimmy Carter and ask what he would do.

Right, and maybe a year or more from now....🤣

I do remember the botched rescue attempt. Quite a few Americans went down in a helicopter, so the mission was aborted.

I was in the Army at that time. When those towel heads took over the embassy it was business as usual, but when that rescue mission was aborted, that's when it hit the fan. Why we didn't go in there I'll never know.

Yeah, I think the embassy takeover was done because Carter let the Shah come to the U.S. It's gone downhill ever since.

"Ukraine airline officials said most of the passengers on Flight 752 were en route to the capital, Kyiv, transiting through to other destinations. In the absence of direct flights, the Tehran-Toronto via Kyiv route is a popular one for Canadians of Iranian descent visiting Iran, and the plane was carrying many students and academics heading back to Canada after spending the Christmas break in Iran."
