In December 2001, an iranian oil tanker was bombed by the US Navy. On February 19th, Iran made again twice headlines. A military plane carrying 280 passengers -- all members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard -- crashed in southeastern Iran, while at the same time, at least 200 of the iranian Shia Muslim soldiers had begun moving troops into Iraq. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2780515.stm http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/02/19/iran.crash/index.html
