TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran announced Saturday that its military ‘unintentionally’ shot down a Ukrainian jetliner, killing all 176 aboard.
The statement came Saturday morning and blamed “human error” for the shootdown.
The jetliner, a Boeing 737 operated by Ukrainian International Airlines, went down on the outskirts of Tehran during takeoff just hours after Iran launched a barrage of missiles at U.S. forces.
Iran had denied for several days that a missile downed the aircraft. But then the U.S. and Canada, citing intelligence, said they believe Iran shot down the aircraft.

What do they blame bulldozing the site and withholding the black boxes on?
Interesting that the Iranians should switch to the truth so quickly. Since this was likely human error, I wonder if this will make the leadership consider how bad human error could be if they actually had a nuclear capability.
Inadvertent error.
Used by lying Ass gubbermints and booerkraps worldwide.
Said with straight faces.
