I completely disagree. A civilized and competent country would have shutdown the Tehran airport and diverted all inbound flights prior to launching the attack.

Why would Iran need to fire SAMs at aircraft departing their own airport? I don’t buy the “unintentional” excuse. Russian Tor SAM systems don’t just go off by accident and hit Ukrainian commercial aircraft.

Yes they do, some are, when activated, fired at whatever is in their range
