NBC News: Iran admits to unintentionally shooting down Ukrainian plane
The Iranian military blamed “human error” for taking down a plane and killing all 176 people aboard.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei apparently urged the government to make this information public.
Armed Forces’ internal investigation has concluded that regrettably missiles fired due to human error caused the horrific crash of the Ukrainian plane & death of 176 innocent people.
Investigations continue to identify & prosecute this great tragedy & unforgivable mistake. #PS752— Hassan Rouhani (@HassanRouhani) January 11, 2020
