US press: Iran initially hid the truth about the downed Ukrainian Boeing

56

Iran initially knew about the missile strike on a UIA passenger airliner, but hid the truth about the downed Ukrainian Boeing. At the insistence of the Iranian military, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, for three days after the disaster, denied Tehran's involvement in it and named technical reasons as a working version.

This was reported by the New York Times, referring to the audio recording of the conversation of the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic with the economist Said Leylaz, which was at its disposal.



The record testifies to the contradictions between him and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), in particular, with General Qasem Soleimani, who commanded the Quds Special Forces, killed by the American military. The minister complained that the IRGC ignored government decisions and influenced government policy.

According to the entry, Zarif was unhappy with the fact that Suleimani, to the detriment of Tehran's interests, promoted an aggressive policy in Syria and the Middle East in general.

The US press also claims that the Quds commander allegedly acted in concert with Russia and tried to thwart the nuclear deal. But for some reason the American press does not remind its readers that the United States was the first to withdraw from this deal.

On January 8, 2020, near Tehran, an Iranian missile destroyed a Boeing 737 passenger aircraft belonging to the Ukrainian airline UIA and performing a Tehran-Kiev flight. Of the 176 passengers and crew on board, none survived.

    I don't know ... All these conspiracy theories. Audio recording in our age is a piece of cake. And what difference does that make, even if it is genuine? The plane was shot down, people died, they admitted their guilt.
    Sorry for the people.

      Iranian air defense officers confused a tomahawk with a length of just over 5 m with a huge passenger airliner at least 40 m long. That's all.

          And what exactly did the Americans confuse? If we were talking about the Iranian Boeing, then they did not confuse him with a missile. There was a suspicion that he was going to the ship, given that he had deviated from the air route.

            And in 83rd, the Korean KE007 did not deviate from the course by either 300 or 500 kilometers, didn't it? And the Americans, because of their "suspicions", heroes who heroically defended their ship, and on the USSR then, because of this reconnaissance and obviously provocative flight, only conspiracy with the Martians to destroy America did not hang. The rest is all, right up to the assassination of Kennedy and the eruption of Krakatoa.

            America can have "suspicions" and, on this basis, shoot down anyone, but the rest cannot?

              They took out dusty rags and began to shake them.
              The task is to force Iran to agree to the agreement that the states need.
              But Iran is ready to return to the agreement, without additional body kits.
              That is how it was.

            Boeing was not confused with a rocket! That's for sure! Firstly, because it was not a Boeing, but an Airbus A300B2-203, and secondly, because the Americans themselves later stated that they allegedly confused it with the Iranian F-14A Tomcat (at what "Phenomenal accuracy" in determining the EPR was demonstrated by the vaunted BIUS "Aegis" !!!

            Nothing of this happened, because the "Airbus" did not deviate ANYWHERE, but flew DIRECT linking Bandar Abbas and Dubai! Moreover, as shown by further analysis of the Aegis BIUS records - at the moment of the missile launch the plane was gaining altitude, and the Vincennes cruiser itself was in IRANIAN territorial waters!

              The Aegis, as far as I know, did not exist then, and the A-300 (previously mistaken by calling it Boeing) began to descend in the direction of the ship. The Ukrainian Boeing, however, does not look like a cruise missile at all and it flew away, which only speaks of complete disorder Iranian air defense, considering also the fact that there are two parallel armies and one is not coordinated with the other.

                Girkin could simply "write down" the next victory at his own expense. And the fact that the Boeing was shot down by the militia is very doubtful And they are based on that. that when the APU shot down a Russian Tu-154 over the Black Sea. then the Americans two hours later showed a photo of the rocket's flight and said who shot down the same story with our other plane. which was blown up by terrorists over the Sinai Peninsula. Rescuers have not yet reached the crash site. and the mattresses already said that it was a terrorist attack and showed a photo from the crash site
                And only with Boeing over Donbass they have been talking for seven years. that there are documents exposing Russia But they are so secret. that it is impossible to present them
                Do not tell me. what is so secret in the Donetsk network?
                Just if you admit it. and show that the plane was shot down by PPOshniki of Ukraine. then you will have to admit the fact of nonsense and lift sanctions from Russia And this is simply impossible!

Even at this time, we had a direct connection with the command post of the Ukrainian Armed Forces brigade in Belbek. Everything else is known, I will not repeat myself.

    It was the Americans who brought the situation to hysteria at that moment by committing a terrorist act on the territory of Iran (the murder of Suleimani). Iran lived in anticipation of an air raid. Ukrainian Boeing was at the wrong time, in the wrong place.
    Similarly, Russia is accused of the conflict in the Donbass.
    But the conflict in Donbass and the annexation of Crimea is the result of direct US interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine, in organizing and sponsoring the Ukrainian Maidan, and in fact a "color" coup d'etat.

      And why figure it out. The Ministry of Defense announced the version: ILom covered themselves with a shield, so it was so. and figs that the SAM rocket explodes outside the aircraft and its shrapnel pierces the duralumin of the hull like cardboard. If an Israeli hawk had taken cover from the IL, it would have definitely been shot down with it. It's just that the one who came up with this version of the Ministry of Defense was some land general who heard the ringing, but could not understand the action of the SAM and MANPADS missiles. But the MO does not care about such minor inconsistencies.
