I-FAA ixwayisa izinkampani zezindiza ngengozi "yokungaqondi kahle noma yokungazi kahle" ngePersian Gulf

Esikhumbuzweni esidabukisayo sokwehliswa kwendiza ye-Iran Air 655 ngomcibisholo wase-US, isaziso se-FAA sithe izindiza zabantu ezindiza phezu kwePersian Gulf kanye neGulf of Oman okwamanje zisengcupheni "yokungabalwa kahle noma ukukhonjwa ngokungeyikho."

Isaziso esiya ku-Airmen (NOTAM) esishicilelwe yi-US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ngasekupheleni kukaLwesine sithe ubungozi busukela “ekunyukeni kwemisebenzi yezempi kanye nokwanda kwezingxabano zezepolitiki” endaweni. Izinkampani zezindiza ezisebenza esifundeni zingase futhi "zihlangabezane nokuphazanyiswa kwe-GPS okungaqondile nokunye ukuphazamiseka kwezokuxhumana" kusho isexwayiso.

Ukushuba kwesimo esiseduze ne-Iran kuza njengoba i-US ithumela impahla yezempi eyengeziwe esifundeni, okuhlanganisa neqembu labagadli bezindiza kanye nebhethri lemicibisholo ye-Patriot anti-aircraft. IWashington ithe lokhu kuyimpendulo yosongo olungachazwanga olwenziwa amabutho ase-Irani. I-US iphinde yahoxisa abasebenzi abangabalulekile emisebenzini yobunxusa e-Iraq.

Kwabanye, isexwayiso se-FAA singase sibuyise inkumbulo emnyama yesigameko sango-1988, lapho umcibisheli wezikhali ezicitshwayo wadubula phansi indiza yase-Iran, kwashona abantu abangu-290. Kwenzeke ezinyangeni ezimbili ngemuva kokuthi i-US icwilise i-frigate yase-Iran nesikebhe sokuziphindiselela ngesigameko ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, lapho umkhumbi wezempi waseMelika ushayise imayini yase-Iran.

UWashington uthe izisebenzi ze-USS Vincennes azikhombe kabi indiza ye-Iran Air engu-655 ngendiza yempi ezama ukuhlasela umkhumbi wezempi futhi bazivikela. Uhulumeni ukuchithile izinsolo zokuthi amalungu ombutho wezempi waseMelika enze budlabha, njengoba uMongameli uGeorge HW Bush ememezela: "Angisoze ngaxolisa nge-United States - anginendaba ukuthi athini amaqiniso ... angiyena umuntu waseMelika uhlobo lomuntu."
