Iranian women by Iran Air Flight 655 mural, Tehran

Iranian women walk by new murals outside the former US embassy in Tehran, depicting the deliberate US downing of the civilian Iran Air Flight 655.

The US shot down the plane killing its 290 passengers (66 children) as a way to pressure and prevent the Islamic Republic from defeating Saddam Hussein in the 1980s war imposed between Iran and Iraq, when Iran kept making progress despite NATO facilitating chemical weapons to the Iraqi dictator.
