Flight PS752 of the Ukrainian airlines departs from Imam Khomeini Airport and, while in rotation, is completely approaching a sensitive military center of the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps and at altitude and in form of a hostile flight.

That plane was following the same flight path it always takes. It flies daily at the same time, unless there's a delay in take-off for some reason. Steve Lookner, on Agenda Free TV, pulled up all that data tonight and showed that it didn't vary from its regular flight path.

Flat out lies by the Iranians, but who's surprised?

Who's surprised?

perhaps not the Iranian ambassador in the UK:

In my statement yesterday to the UK media, I conveyed the official findings of responsible authorities in my country that missile could not be fired and hit the Ukrainian plane at that period of time. I appologise and regret for conveying such wrong findings.

“Flat out lies by the Iranians, but who’s surprised?”

I think the Iranian statement is consistent, certainly more consistent than anything coming from the Democrats...that Trump was somehow responsible.

It’s quite possible that the usual flight path of the plane would look like an attack. But if the air defenses are not on high alert, and other airlines figured out it’s not worth flying at that time...then poorly trained operators there think it’s an attack, when it shows up, even if on schedule and on path.

They never said it veered off or might have been spying, as the Russians had said about Korean Flight 007 after they shot it down (and let’s be real, how can a flight numbered 007 NOT be spying?)

Amir Ali Hajizadeh is IRGC’s Aerospace Force commander. In contradiction to the earlier Iranian Armed Forces statement, he says that Flight PS752 *did not* deviate from its path. Someone mistakingly identified the jet as a cruise missile.

IRGC Aerospace Cmdr: I wish I was dead and such an incident hadn't happened. We in IRGC accept all the responsibility, and are ready to implement any decision made by the Establishment

IRGC Aerospace Cmdr says we had requested the establishment of a no-fly zone given the war situation. But it was not approved for certain considerations

IRGC Aerospace Cmdr says Air Defence operator sent a message to his commanders; but after he didn't receive any response for 10 seconds, he decided to shoot it down

It just further proves the lies by the media and the libs that what Iran apologized for was human error, not an intentional attack based upon the act of Mr. Trump.

There’s a lot more. But as usual, the libs and their media are wrong on the point and it should be pointed out. But the publications will show a retraction on page 102 and the live people will blame their “non-existing” sources to cover their agenda.
