Pentagon officials believe the Iranian regime shot down Ukrainian Airlines Flight PS 752 with a Russian anti-aircraft missile Tuesday night. All 176 innocent civilians and the crew were killed. The victims were from Canada, the UK, Sweden, Germany, Ukraine, Afghanistan and Iran. There were no Americans onboard.
"Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, a Boeing 737–800 en route from Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airpot to Kyiv's Boryspil International Airport, stopped transmitting data Tuesday just minutes after takeoff and not long after Iran launched missiles at military bases housing U.S. and allied forces in neighboring Iraq. The aircraft is believed to have been struck by a Russia-built Tor-M1 surface-to-air missile system, known to NATO as Gauntlet, the three officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter," Newsweek reports.
BREAKING: U.S. officials have shared intelligence with Canada to back up the view that Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 152 was brought down by an Iranian missile, sources tell CBC News.— CBC News Alerts (@CBCAlerts) January 9, 2020
The plane, which was flying away from Tehran, was shot down hours after Iran launched more than a dozen missiles from inside the country toward Al Asad airbase in Iraq. This was done in retaliation for the killing of Iranian terrorist leader Qassem Soleimani. Nobody was harmed and there were no casualties from the attack.
Senior US official tells me that it was a Russian SA15 missile that brought down the Ukrainian civilian airliner. "An absolute tragedy," the official told Fox News. "They just screwed up and it is tragic."— Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) January 9, 2020
For now officials are saying the shoot down was a mistake, but it was just a few days ago Iranian President Hassan Rouhani threatened commercial aircraft travel. He did so by reminding President Trump of an accidental plane shoot down by the U.S. in 1988. Since then aircraft and radar technology has vastly improved to avoid attacks on commercial flights. Iran is refusing to turn over the black box to Boeing for evaluation.

The President to be blamed by certain leftists in 3,2,1 versus Iran, for the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
They showed us! They won’t mess around. Watch us shoot down this airliner.........oops!
The Canadian government no, but see my post above.
Obviously Trump’s fault. Iran was only defending themselves and fired the missile. Sarcasm off
I know the morons in the media will say this...wait and see them do it.
But the attacker's did not know that, but seeing it was an American plane may have been enough for itchy fingered attackers who presumably acted apart from gov. orders. .
Yes, mostly Iranians and Canadians on the airplane.
Iran says the black box was partially erased and they also commented on the information on it.
the Iranians don’t have the tools or ability to read the box.
so, like dems they make stuff up.
they refuse to let Boeing to have it.
They can see Russia from their house
which brings us to another point.
rogue Irab proxy Militant groups in Iraq are/were getting ready to attack coalition troops and Iran told them to stand down.
the Iranian mucky mucks are very afraid that some of their terrorist groups will kill an American ‘cause they know fire and brimstone will rain down on them if that happens.
even if by ‘accident’
"Oh Lordy Lord....Do what he say! Do what he say!"
That’s all well and good the Pentagon says that’s what happened but what does Justin say and what is he going to do about it?
The victims were from Canada, the UK, Sweden, Germany, Ukraine, Afghanistan and Iran.
Any American would be close to insane visiting there or have a kumbaya view of the world. Those types do not fare well out there.
Elizabeth is a lot closer to Iran so what is she going to do? Or perhaps her stupid family taking too much of her energy. That evil little skank, MEghan, timed her little announcement to grab headlines onto her this week.
Yes I know.
a report said they were mostly Canadians and Iranians.
Our satellite intel picked up signals of the ground radar being turned on & detected infrared blips of 2 missile launches, probably SA-15s, followed shortly by another infrared blip of an explosion.
During the Stephen Harper years the embassies shut down in 2012. For whatever reason they haven’t reopened under Turdough yet.
He is such a tool
