I can't believe that this would be a fighter - maybe a refueling tanker, or a surveillance aircraft.

Iran claims US plane violated airspace, forces it to land
(Seth Wenig)
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian President, who has caused concern in the West with hostile rhetoric coupled with uranium enrichment
Iran said today that US warplane has violated its territory and it had forced it to land in the Islamic Republic.
If true, the incident, reported by the Iranian News Agency, would appear a dramatic escalation in tensions between the countries.

Interesting timing.
Let's pray this is not the beginning of war.
The Grand Supercycle crash is in motion, and, if war enters the picture, then this is THE war.

US plane 'forced to land in Iran'
A US plane has been forced to land in Iran after violating Iranian territory, the Iranian semi-official Fars news agency has reported.
It said the Falcon aircraft entered Iranian airspace from Turkey, flying at low altitude to avoid radar.
The agency said the plane was detected by Iranian fighter jets, which forced it to land at an undisclosed airport.
Passengers included five senior American generals and three civilians, the report said.
The agency said the group was interrogated at the airport and then allowed to leave after it was realised they had entered unintentionally.
More details to follow.

Passengers included five senior American generals and three civilians, the report said.
Is it common for so many generals to be on one plane at the same time? No less violating Iranian air space? This smells....

You know I was wondering how and with what could they use to force one of our planes down.

You can edit and then click on go advanced and it will let you change your "headline".

The agency added that the incursion was unintentional, and those on board were questioned and released.
It said five senior US military officials were interrogated at an Iranian airport, but allowed to leave the following day after it became clear the incursion had been a mistake.
However, a Pentagon spokesman said it was unaware of any US warplanes being forced to land in Iran.

Looks like nonsense. But why?
Don't know what to think of this story yet.
My first reaction is that there is nothing being originally reported from our side.
Most importantly notice how this story broke right at the start of trading today?
Also, how do five people fit into a "fighter" plane?
Right now I think it is just Iranian agit-prop.

The Falcon is similar to a Gulfstream business jet. Here's a link to what they are: http://www.dassaultfalcon.com/index_flash.jsp
I simply cannot imagine US military having 5 generals on a plane at one time over "enemy" territory - especially on a plane that can be forced down that easily. I don't know what their intentions are in releasing this "news", but I don't buy it for one second.
I am always amazed at how quickly a Breaking News story will drop off the main page.
15 -20 posts and then bye, bye!
It seems like everyone is somehow compelled to start a vanity thread or pile on a political story.
Wouldn't it be a good idea for everyone to hold up on posting to other threads and help to confirm and add information to the breaking story?

Iran TV says plane forced to land not American
9:58 am
TEHRAN (Reuters) - An Iranian state television station said on Tuesday that a plane that was forced to land in Iran was not a U.S. military aircraft, but that five senior U.S. military officials had been on board.
The report by Iran's Arabic-language al-Alam station contradicted an earlier report by the semi-official Fars News Agency, which said the aircraft was American.
Al-Alam said the plane had been carrying aid to Afghanistan and was probably British or Hungarian.

Pentagon Denies Report That U.S. Plane Forced to Land in Iran
Tuesday, October 07, 2008
The Pentagon has a denied a news report out of Iran that a U.S. Military plane was forced to land there, saying that all U.S. planes are accounted for, Reuters reported Tuesday.
The semi-official Fars news agency reported that Iran forced a U.S. aircraft that accidentally entered its airspace to land, then allowed the plane to continue after questioning its eight passengers. But the nationality of the plane was not clear.
"All aircraft in the region are accounted for and we have no reports of any aircraft landing in Iran," U.S. Lt. Col. Patrick Ryder told Reuters.
State-owned Al-Alam television quoted an unidentified senior Iranian official saying it belonged to a European aid agency. Neither report indicated when the incident took place.
The U.S. Military was looking into the possibility that it was a non-military plane.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hasan Qashqavi said he had no information about the case.
The airplane was carrying five military officials and three civilians from Turkey to Afghanistan when it "unintentionally" entered Iranian airspace, Fars reported.
It says Iranian fighters guided the plane to an Iranian airport, the passengers were questioned and a day later were released and allowed to continue to their destination.
Central Command said there was no report of U.S. planes being asked to land.
