1 Why would Iran shoot at Turkey? They already have their hands full with an outraged USA who put on his ass-kicking boots and a full NATO intervention is the last thing they want. Decapitating Iran must have them making poor decisions. Or maybe a Mossad asset is in charge now, that would make sense.

3 Israel and American forces pretty much took out Iran’s command-and-control in the first two days, I understand. Hence Lord Garth’s suggestions in-lined in the article. The missileers may not have known where their equipment was pointed, or just panicked and shot it off anyway.

Or someone decided to warn off Turkey from getting any bright ideas during these fraught times for Iran.

4 Aw, come on, man! Who *wouldn't* want to shoot at Turkey? That said, it was probably just a stray. Move along. Nothing to see here.
