We shot the Ukrain Passenger Place, Iranian Admits

On Saturday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei admitted that “information should be made public concerning the Ukrainian Airplane missile crush” thereby confirming that the country’s military personnel shot the plane.

Ironically, Iran had been on denial side for days after the crash had brought down the plane. The top officials and military personnel have had to issue apologies either through state television or their official twitter handle like Iran foreign minister Javad Zarif. Revolutionary Guards commander had informed authorities about the unintentional missile strike on the same day it happened.

The Ukrainian plane had 176 individuals including 57 Canadians and U.S citizens who were all killed. This sparked complains on social media among the Grief-stricken Iranians who witnessed the plane burst into flames.

A video in circulation shows the plane being shot with missile and bursting into flames and explode as it struck down. This may look like a tit-for-tat game with similar incident happening on Iranian airliner. Those who may recall, in 1988 U.S warship shot down an Iranian airline killing 290 people. Washington called it an accident while Tehran said that it was intentional.

Ukrainian International Airlines said, “Iran should have closed the airport. The Vice-president had informed them, the carrier received no indication of a threat when it flew in Iranian airspace.” The plane was then cleared for take-off. In its defense, Iranian military statement said, “The plane flew close to a sensitive Revolutionary Guards site at a time of high alert. “Aviation experts said that it was up to the country to close its airspace when there was a risk. The office of the Ukrainian president said, “Kiev and Paris agreed that French specialists would help decode the black boxes.”

Iran has shown that it owns up to its mistake that it would download information from voice and flight data recorders itself. U.S military satellites detected infrared emissions from heat. Data showed the plane was airborne for two minutes after departing Tehran when heat signatures of surface -to-air missiles were detected.
