#1 Standard US provocation, trying to start a war.
SAC used to aim entire squadrons of nuclear bombers at the USSR, screamingin at top speed exactly as they would in a full-scale attack, only to turn back at the last moment.
Just like how they sent recce aircraft over the border to spy, and then sent flight KAL 007 on the same track violating the border and the commies shot it down thinking it was another spy plane, a major international incident an a victory for the US during the cold war.
CIA are full of geniuses who know how to make the enemy strike first so we look innocent.

#5 KAL 007 isn't Iranian agitprop. Spy planes routinely violated the border, then they sent a passenger airliner on the same track across the border and the Russkies shot it down, not bothering to check the tail number first. That's the same way the Serbians shot down our stealth fighter and why pieces of it are in their national war museum.
Whoever came up with that plan deserves a medal(a classified one, it wouldn't look good in public).
