It was done in a manner so there would be no collateral damage.
If you wish to claim collateral damage for the shoot down of the airliner.....then you would have to point the finger at the Iranians as it was Iranian forces that launched the miissiles, ballistic missiles first then the SAM's.
The US Military did not respond to those attacks and certainly fired no weapons.
So....ya'll that want to talk collateral damage....how do you blame the USA when they fired no weapons inside Iran and no where near Tehran?
Come on guys....get real!
I remember an early report, stating that after the Iranian ballistic missile strikes. That at least 6 F-35s got airborne from their UAE base. So, where were they headed and on what mission? Maybe that was why the SAM defences were so jumpy!
