When did Iran get C-130's in the first place?

So Reagan didn't throw in any spare parts in exchange for our hostages
?

Israel has been buying parts from us and selling them to Iran for
years.

Started with the hostage operation as I recall.

OH YEA! We sold lots of aircraft to Iran when they "said" they liked
us! The better question is where do they get the parts to keep them
flying? Oh, that right they are starting to fall out of the sky!

how can that building still stand after c-130 hit it?
the building still has 10 stories and any people can walk in and out
as I saw in the pictures

compare to 911

C-130 is smaller, slower. It may not have carried as much fuel. The WTC
stood for several hours until fire weakened the structure enough for it
to collapse. It is a lot easier to fight a fire in a ten story building
than a fire in a 100 story building.

The fuel only started the fires at the WTC. What kept them burning for long
enough to collapse was the tons of paper in the offices. They're probably not as
paper happy in Iran.

Paper burns at a lower temperature, probably too low to melt steel, so
I'm not convinced. Do you have a reference for paper as the cause of
the collapse?

Nah, once the airliners punches a hole in the building too much air got
let in. That's why the fire kept burning.
