Former Shin Bet Chief Ami Ayalon Says Iran Would Never Surrender: “If You Don’t Know Your Enemy, You Will Never Win”
July 26, 2026
Former Navy SEAL and podcast host Mike Ritland drops a hard truth about foreign policy double standards, referencing the 1988 tragedy where the USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air Flight 655, killing 290 innocent civilians—including 66 children.
On July 3, 1988, a U.S. Navy guided-missile cruiser shot down a commercial Iranian airliner over sovereign Iranian airspace.
Despite issuing financial compensation years later, the U.S. government never issued a formal apology or admitted criminal wrongdoing for taking nearly 300 civilian lives.
Understanding history is not about justifying terrorism.
It is about recognizing that civilian lives matter regardless of nationality and that actions taken by powerful states can leave wounds that endure for generations.
