Iran says it shot down Ukrainian Jetliner by mistake!

Iran says it unintentionally shot missiles at a Ukrainian civilian jetliner minutes after takeoff on Wednesday. The plane crashed on the outskirts of Tehran, killing 176 people. A statement from the Iranian military blamed human error.

Iran’s foreign minister tweeted that it was a “sad day” but that the U.S. “adventurism” had caused the disaster.

 

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani noted the “death of 176 innocent people,” and called the attack an “unforgivable mistake.”

 

The Ukrainian International Airlines flight was headed for Kyiv and carried Iranian, Canadian and Ukrainian passengers and crew.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, other officials and analysts had already said it appeared the attack may have been a mistake. It came amid tensions between the U.S. and Iran following the U.S. drone strike that killed a senior Iranian military official and Iran’s missile attack on bases housing American forces in Iraq.
