So they mass murder civilians on a passenger jet. Oh wait - it was an accident.

Shot down three minutes after takeoff in Tehran.

Jumpy mullahs kill 170 souls in sheer panic. Pray for the poor souls.

In the replies there’s a link to this twitter post:

Lots of pics purporting to show this 737 with SAM shrapnel holes similar to the ones on MH17.

This was already a story. It didn’t become news because a blogger named sundunce reposted it.

Here is the whole thing without clickbait.

On Same Night Iran Fires Missiles – Ukraine Passenger Flight Leaving Tehran Airport Crashes Killing 170….

Posted on January 7, 2020 by sundance

Horrific coincidence that might not entirely be a coincidence. A Ukraine 737 Airliner, Flight 752 from Tehran to Ukraine, is lost shortly after take-off. The incident takes place only hours after Iran fires ballistic missiles into Iraq targeting U.S. bases.

Video of the plane crashing shows the airliner in flames as it nears the ground and explodes. Some preliminary reporting indicated the flight might have been accidentally shot down by Iranian anti-aircraft defenses. [Note: All early details are sketchy]

(Via Daily Mail) A Ukrainian passenger plane carrying 170 passengers and crew has crashed near Tehran just three minutes after takeoff.

The plane had taken off from Imam Khomeini International Airport when it suffered ‘technical problems’, Iranian State TV reported.

Unverified video footage tweeted by the BBC’s Iran correspondent, Ali Hashem, appeared to show the plane burning in the sky before crashing in a huge explosion.

Flight information shows Ukrainian International Airlines flight PS752 – a Boeing 737-800 – taking off at 2.44am UTC (6.14am local time) and reaching a height of 7,925ft before the data abruptly ends.

An investigation team was at the site of the crash in southwestern outskirts of Tehran, Iran’s civil aviation spokesman Reza Jafarzadeh told the Associated Press. (read more)

Reports that an Iranian missile accidentally shot down a Ukrainian plane with 180 on board.

Interesting that Iran is refusing to turn over the black box. Either the Iranians shot it down or it really was an accident but they want to say we shot it down.

You can bet your ass that, knowing there were going to be missile launches into Iraq, Iranian air defense batteries were placed on a “weapons free” status. Some moron(s) in the Iranian air defense corps, fearing an immediate retaliatory attack, were a little too trigger happy and unloaded on a “low-flying unidentified aircraft on an attack profile.”

You can also count on the fact that we know exactly what happened to that aircraft...

Uh oh! We failed to respond to their attack on our bases, and now they have destroyed an airliner filled with innocent people. As usual the Iranians will attempt to lie their way out of this murder of 170 innocent lives. They will fail again.

Do you suppose it will become possible to ever tire of winning with President Donald Trump?
