Iran plane crash: Tehran admits it 'unintentionally' shot down plane

Β 

Quote

ranian military officials have admitted that the country "unintentionally" shot down a Ukrainian airliner, killing all 176 people on board.

State TV, reading out a military statement, blamed "human error" for shooting down the plane. The responsible parties would be held accountable, the military said.

Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 crashed six minutes after taking off from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport early on Wednesday morning.

It came hours after Iran launched a missile strike against US forces in Iraq. The crash prompted speculation that the aircraft was a casualty of crossfire.

The United States, Canada, and Britain had said on Thursday that they had intelligence which proved that the plane had been shot down, but Iran denied this and accused Dominic Raab, the British foreign secretary, of "politicising" the tragedy.

Very tragic.Β 

I don't know what's worse. Death by mechanical failure or an unintentional missile launch. Both results in the same thing but...... This was indirectly brought upon by Trump, the way I see it. Unintentional or not, innocent peopleΒ paid for the mistake and conflicts between the United States and Iran. The blood is on US's hands too.Β A massacre that will go unpunished.

Quote

β€œA sad day. Preliminary conclusions of internal investigation by Armed Forces: Human error at time of crisis caused by US adventurism led to disaster Our profound regrets, apologies and condolences to our people, to the families of all victims, and to other affected nations.”

First major aircrash of 2020.

Reports says its a technical issue. Let's all hope this has nothing to do with the recent Iran-US spat. Just read an article about SIA diverting all its flights over Iran, then this news.Β 

RIP to all the victims.Β 

Can consider as honest mistake according to some?Β

A military statement carried by state media said the plane was mistaken for a hostile target after it turned toward a sensitive military centre of the Revolutionary Guard. β€œThe military was at its highest level of readiness,” it said, amid the heightened tensions with the United States. β€œIn such a condition, because of human error and in a unintentional way, the flight was hit.” It apologised for the disaster and said it would upgrade its systems to prevent such mistakes in the future. The responsible parties would be referred to a judicial department within the military and held accountable, the statement said.

With all the intelligence and spy satellites on them, don't think they have other choice. The military shot it down. How would they not know? They knew it. And, respectable is if Iran had admitted right away that they made a mistake. They denied right from the start, even until yesterday. The only reason they admit was pressure from the international media, governments and evidence. There's no way they can run away from it.

Likely this.

Quote

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister said Friday that he has received "important data” on the plane crash, following a meeting between President Volodymyr Zelensky and US representatives.

Vadym Prystaiko also said on Twitter that Zelensky is due to speak with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday.

"We met with US representatives including Christina Quinn, Head of the Embassy in Ukraine. We have received important data that will be processed by our specialists,"

SIA is smart to immediately avoid flying over that area, the moment the conflict starts.

Unlike the previous MH17 incident, this time SIA is decisive!

 respect for them? 😨

they bloody well KNEW from the first second someone gave order to fire the missile that they did it.

firing a AA missile is not some private misfire his rifle... from tracking to actual firing, a whole command chain is needed, and from pretty high up the rank. they choose to pretend and would have kept pretending if they could and the videos didnt leak.

also:

western spy satelite and sigint intercepts caught the firing sequence.

they cleared the debris almost immediately before investigators could reach... 100%Β  because they knew what happened immediately and wanted to hide evidence.

granted they have a very dysfunctional govt where mad mullahs and moderates seem to operate parallel tracks. (hundreds shot in protest just before)

there is nothing worth respecting... they basically had no viable way to hide... lan lan admit unwillingly.
