The US supported Iran in the Iran-Iraq war.
Shooting down the Iranian airliner was a mistake during an air war.
The US actions were not terrorist by any of the definitions you provided.

The fact that you support his anti-American nonsense says a lot about you (not that we did know that already).

The US openly supported Iraq in that war.
Ollie North sold weapons to the Iranians as well, but that was supposed to be a secret.  Reagan and Bush 41 both denied knowing about it.
I think reasonable people can disagree about what is and what is not terrorism.  If you don't like how Zach used the word, fine.  
I wouldn't call the guy "anti-American" though.  At the very least we need to understand the Iranian perspective so that we can predict what they will say and do next.
