Oh FFS! How about inserting the other 1,000 variables into the question before trying to stir up yet another inane and highly speculative circular debate with a loaded question like that.
It wasn't Syrian or Iranian and it wasn't coming from across a border with an enemy state and the crew were listening out on 121.5 and it didn't appear to make hostile moves or any of a million other possibilities. Admit the kind of question posed here just shows how sad some people are for hypothetical debate over an issue that is extremely likely to attract very polarised views from other ignorantii with little knowledge about how the whole system works.
Spare us the waffle and hypothesising and stick to known facts and plausible question.
