Iran says it ‘unintentionally’ shot down Ukrainian jetliner
Iran announced Saturday that its military “unintentionally” shot down the Ukrainian jetliner that crashed earlier this week, killing all 176 aboard, after the government had repeatedly denied Western accusations that it was responsible. (apnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Of course it was unintentional. We may be adversaries but I can't believe Iran would intentionally shoot down an airliner over Tehran that just took off from their own international airport.
We made the same mistake in 1988 , Iran Air flight 655 .

It was a setup by the Iranians the transponder code was set wrong.
Going to put this link here. Its a Report from the BBC containing disturbing images of the downed aircraft before authorities cleansed the site.

This reminds of the way Ronald Reagan told everyone, "Mistakes were made."

Maybe if that “great president” had not fired a missile from a US drone, tensions would never been that high and a civilian airliner would still be intact today? Too easy for some to sit in their easy chair and spout how to rest of the world should live and whether or not their families should pay the ultimate price......just for visiting their friends and relatives. Time to take the blinders off and the ear plugs out and vote for someone with an IQ larger then their shoe size..

Please keep your political opinions to yourself.
