... 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.

Oh Bull!!

Dozens of flights daily make the same takeoff pattern out of that airport!!

"Dozens of flights daily make the same takeoff pattern out of that airport!!"

But they don't all have the right tail number.

Salami man who is popular with militant factions is killed, a bunch of the Revolutionary Guards are arrested, a civilian airliner leaving the country headed for Quid Pro Joe Land is "accidentally" shot down; sounds like a Persian purge to me.
