Ukrainian Passenger Plane Shot Down In Iran Or Crashed?

Seems like a CIA black ops. They always throw a monkey wrench into the narrative. Hit the Iranians sideways. It's how they think. Iranians shooting down a jet serves no purpose for their cause. It was probably a stinger missile. Iranian missiles have a difficult enough time hitting a target on the ground.

Russian missiles are a bit more accurate it seems - like in the Malaysian Airlines incident.

According to the Arabs:

"Canadian, US and UK officials have said intelligence indicated that an Iranian missile brought down the airliner, a conclusion dismissed by Iran.

"All these reports are a psychological warfare against Iran," Iranian state TV quoted government spokesman Ali Rabiei in a statement."

Wow, now here's a report we will never see on US television:

"Iran invites Boeing to probe plane crash
Iran has invited both Ukraine and the Boeing company to take part in the plane crash investigation, state media reported.

The spokesman, Abbas Mousavi, said it will also welcome experts from other countries' whose citizens died in the crash.

Iran had initially said it would not allow Boeing to take part in the probe, going against prevailing international norms on crash investigations.

It later invited the US accident-investigating agency to take part in the investigation."

Who to believe - a bit like the Russians and the novichok incident in Salisbury or the assassination of Khassoggi - especially when they have form. :rolleyes:

Exactly. Who to believe. It would be interesting to see what type of SAM is determined when the crash is investigated. It should be pretty easy to identify don't you think?

They've already mentioned the type that was probably used.

I mentioned it before I read the Iranians were allowing Western crash investigators. Why would they do that if they were not sure they did NOT fire the SAM?

Well I'm not sure 'allowing Western crash investigators' doesn't preclude them from hiding any evidence. One only has to look back at the previous incident in the Ukraine.

I doubt it. Too much at stake if it is successfully pinned on the Iranians.

People make mistakes, and the reaction is often to deny any responsibility. Much like the Khashoggi affair, where the highest authority could hardly admit such (to being a murderer). The embarrassment this would cause the Iranians is such too.

One has to wonder why the plane was allowed to take off in the first place.
If I'm not mistaken the plane departed after the attack was launched and the missiles had impacted their targets.
Just guessing but I have to assume that the Iranians assumed that the US would not immediately respond to the attack. Which I would have to agree with.
All it takes is one mistake at a missile site and the rest is a forgone conclusion if the target is an commercial aircraft.

Hence why they were leaving for Ukraine. :rolleyes:

Sorry these people whom Iran blasted to death didn't make it out of Iran alive, but I don't understand why Canadians were even in Iran; the Islamic Republic of Iran commits acts of terrorism with their Quds Force, whom the Canadian government itself has designated as being terrorists.

"Since 2012, Canada has designated Quds Force a “listed terrorist entity” among the likes of Boko Haram and al-Qaeda"

Who started all of this with not the wisest of assassinations?

I'm confident President Trump made the right call to take down the Quds force's terrorist leader; our P.O.T.U.S. acted on the basis of top secret classified military intelligence information revealing Soleimani posed an imminent threat to American lives whom the Quds force's terrorist leadership had plotted to put in harm's way by an Islamic militant attack against the U.S. embassy there in Iraq.
