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.

This is a very sad news.

Imagine Iran having access to nuclear bomb.

That means the entire human race will be smoke out of existence.

Common single army general that Iran loss to the american drone attack they went on a war frenzy tone.

They should surround the black box to boeing to close out the remain aspect of the investigation.

that is why no one should pray for war.... there was a heightened tension in the region and the Iranians mistook the plane for an aggressor so they shot it down, now innocent lives are gone..... both sides are guilty of this.

I even understand that the 60 Canadian citizens who died are actually Iranians
by birth who were granted Canadian citizenship.

Meaning that nearly 150 Iranians have just been wasted due to its military's incompetence.

And this is the same country that wants a Nuclear Weapon.

.


plus the ones that died from stampede. Iran just killed over 200 of its citizens for nothing.

thank God you send 1980s can you compare the technology we have now with us then in the 1980s, after the downing of the Iranian plane.. planes started using the transponder civilian transponder.. on radar you can easily differentiate between a military plane and a civilian one .. by their transponder they send signals by the speed and trajectory of a plane you will know
and beside while the case is so sad is that the plane left and Iranian
airport a plane that left your airport then you said the plane was a hostile plane
why are you wasting your time responding to that goat, terrorist like mind will not agree with you on any issues like this, all they want is destruction, Iran has scored own goals, imagine people shouting Death to American stampeding themselves, killing his own people by error when war never even start oh.

As at the time this you posted this, the Ukrainian president had not yet confirmed it and the investigation was not yet concluded. So you were misinforming people about an event for which you had no basis to back your claim


Lol. They miss fired a missile and you think they wouldn't have an immediate knowledge of it, knowing the catastrophic impact it made in a small space of time? They were reluctant to claim responsibility for the mishap because of the shame.
They concealed the airline's black boxes for a reason. Without the US, the Canadian intelligence was all I needed to back my claim, and the reports from the locals that saw the airline explode in the sky with some videos that were made.

US Trump would take d blame for this. To you who thought Trump made a good decision by killing Iranian general, now most of you would have your regret. See one foolish mistake made by Trump has led to the unnecessary death of innocent people. I guess next time Trump would be wise enough to think twice. However history is replaying itself, that how was US shot down an Iranian airliner in 1988, they also said it was a mistake, and in 2020, Iran shot down an airliner of US ally, and as it has always been, it is also a mistake. Trump congrats, now u would be happy!

what's the big deal here?. Same happened when mini war started btw Russia and Ukraine and Western powers backed Ukraine. In the process, Ukraine passenger aircraft was hit by missile accidentally and Russia eventually claimed responsibility. It was accident and families were compensated.

This just happened 3 to 5yrs ago. It is not a yardstick to start blaming Ayatollah, Iran or whatever. All they need to do is compensate the families. Remember there were more Iranians in the flight as well. So NL "war analysts" shouldn't start using this avenue to support attacks on Iran.

Mistakes happen

OneKinGuy:

It's clearly a mistake. they had surface to air missiles which automatically shoots down any thing around its range

SAM does not shoot automatically. That system is always manned. Before missiles are launched, the system is loaded, activated, target verified, target locked and then the system takes it from there.

My assertion above is in line with Iran's latest report which claimed it was human error. This means someone jittery locked on that plane without verifying.

To avoid this sort of incidence, military and civilian aircrafts have different transponder frequencies so that military and civilian radars can detect which is which.

All in all, may the soul of the departed rest in peace.

Iran is an irresponsible nation,they are cowards that knew that a full confrontation with the u.s would have ended them,they intentionally shot that passenger plane down because they felt a covert u.s agent might be on the flight,I feel sorry for CNN,BBC and other ignorant persons that feel that because they hate trump then the next best thing to do is to take sides with a terrorist financing nation like iran,Iran is a nation being controlled by dictators,and to make it worse,these dictators are religious fanatics that would do anything to maintain their influence on the ignorant followers,Iran of today is a cesspit of evil,it is a country filled with brainwashed human beings that would gladly carry out terrorist activities without thinking twice.

Same way America mistakenly shot down an Iranian passenger plane in 1988.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655

The good thing is that Iran will find it hard to get allies to take any further action against America.

This should reduce the possibilities of a war.
