Iran Says It Unintentionally Shot Down Ukrainian Airliner by Tosky4: 5:41am On Jan 11, 2020 |
After maintaining for days that there was no evidence to show one of its missiles had struck the plane, the Iranian military said it was an accident caused by human error. Iran announced early Saturday that it had accidentally shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet, blaming it on human error because of what it called the plane’s sharp, unexpected turn toward a sensitive military base, according to a statement issued by the country’s military. The announcement reversed Iran’s claims that mechanical issues caused the crash of the aircraft, which killed all 176 people aboard. It had persistently denied that Iranian military defenses had downed the aircraft, a Boeing 737-800. International pressure had been building on Iran to take responsibility. American and allied intelligence assessments have said that Iranian missiles brought down the plane, most likely by accident, amid the heightened tensions between the United States and Iran. Suspicions that an Iranian missile had brought down the plane began immediately after Wednesday morning’s crash — just hours after Iran fired missiles at two bases in Iraq housing American forces. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/10/world/middleeast/missile-iran-plane-crash.html?campaign_id=60&instance_id=0&segment_id=20243&user_id=a0202cf90182247ff3fbb68ec7d9ee37®i_id=101211613

And this is a nation that wants to fight a world power. Smh. I'm sure it's with flat bed and arrows they'll use to assume all the threats they've been spewing. Foolish country of terrorists This is exactly why Iran must never posses advanced military weapons. Imagine the height of irresponsibility. You only have missiles, you've caused families to mourn. 176 people killed like rats. More bad is that over 70% of them were below 40 years old. Imagine the toll on their families. If you only had missiles and did this, what would happen when you have nuclear weapons. These weaponry comes with discipline, intelligence and responsibility none of which Iran has. From the killing of innocent aid workers, to destabilising the gulf region, to destroying an independents country's embassy the tyranny and irresponsibility of Iran continues. What a sick shit hole country 6 Likes 1 Share |

To imagine they had vehemently denied shooting down the plane. They realized they couldn't hide the truth for much longer as they would have to return the black box at some point. They want to fight America but couldn't even differentiate a passenger plane from Ukraine from an American military plane. This shows they actually lack the capacity to handle nuclear weapons in the first place. It also shows how scared they were after launching the missiles. 40 people died in Soleimani's burial stampede, earthquake happened, 176 people killed in the erroneous plane bombing. Iran has a lot to learn. God is always against a bitter nation. 2 Likes 1 Share |

So Trump was right after all. Nothing like unintentionally, it's the terrorist instincts of Iran that came into play. Such a nation should never be allowed to weild a nuclear weapon. Not now or ever. How does an airliner look like a military plane to you, the mere fact that it took off from their own airport should cancel all excuse they have, worse still trying to cover it up is criminal whoever gave the order for the plane to be brought down andecery one involved should be tried for genocide. Iran is a terrorist nation . |
