Lawmaker In Iran Says Military Was Right In Shooting Down Ukraine Airliner
April 06, 2020
Although Iranian officials have repeatedly stated that Ukraine International Airline's (UIA) passenger plane "was shot down due to human error" in January, an influential member of parliament says the military did the right thing by shooting down the airliner.
On January 8, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps' (IRGC) missiles shot down the Boeing plane killing all 176 onboard, as it was taking off from Tehran, but initially Iran claimed the plane crashed due to unknown reasons.
It took three days for officials to admit that the military had shot down the aircraft and later claimed that some personnel were arrested.
