At least 19 Iranian Navy personnel are dead and 15 more injured after the warship “Konarak” was struck by Iran’s own missile near Jask Port in southern Iran.

IMO it's just as tragic for the Iranians as it was when similar accidents happened onboard the USS Forrestal or the USS Iowa that killed and injured American kids.

No matter the policies of their leaders, those were brother sailors doing their duty and I hate to read about them dying in such a way.

Why ?...
The Iran hostage crisis negotiations were negotiations in 1980 and 1981 between the United States Government and the Iranian Government to end the Iranian hostage crisis. The 52 American hostages, seized from the US Embassy in Tehran in November 1979, were finally released on 20 January 1981.

Be careful where you take this...it's edging into dangerous political forum waters....

Sorry but it has nothing to do with politics....It has only to with the fact that 40 years ago , they kidnapped 52 of our citizens for no reason IMO....as such, I feel no sympathy for any ill that comes their way.

To me, the hostage situation was the Iranian government vs the United States government. I don't think it's fair to blame the individual Iranian soldiers for following orders any more than we should blame American soldiers for following orders.
IMO an accident or a war that kills a bunch of kids is sad and tragic no matter what nation they represent.
