US fighter jet intercepts #Iran passenger plane over #Syria airspace

#Iran's media say at least one #US fighter jet came dangerously close to an #Iranian passenger plane in #Syrian airspace, forcing it to quickly change course and altitude, resulting in injuries - a claim denied by the #US, who said its F-15 jet was at a safe distance
(but still inspecting an Iranian passneger aeroplane over Syrian airspace).

Now imagine if an Iranian (or Russian) jet had approached a BA passenger airplane to inspect it over French airspace, and think of the headlines the western media would have then.
