#1 Russian Safety Standards
Inshallah Maintenance
Azeri Terrorism

Armenia has been buddying up to Iran and I doubt the 20 million Azeris in Iran aren't too thrilled about that.

BTW, Iran portrays the Azeris as being like the Scots are to the English. Happy partners in nation building for 100s of years. I suspect they are more like the Irish.

#2 Maybe just an accident. But I can't help wondering about the names on the passenger manifest.

#4 Russian Safety Standards
Inshallah Maintenance
Azeri Terrorism

Crappy Russian aircraft, dubious spares, and government cash diverted to Al Quds instead of its airlines.

#5 like maybe match missing protesters?

I was thinking more along the lines of someone working in Iran's newly sprouted nuclear. A little vacation for the team, maybe? Or perhaps a power play between competing mullahs.

Of course, as Pappy points out, there are some 'usual suspects' for a cause rather than mischief. Horses rather than zebras, right? Still we love our conspiracy theories. And you *know* how sneaky the Juice are!
