Ukraine calls for 'evidence' in crash of its plane, which US officials believe was accidently downed by Iran — a claim Iranian officials reject as 'illogical rumour'
Iran rules out a missile strike as the cause of a Ukrainian passenger plane crash, saying such a scenario made"no sense," as US media citing officials report the plane was mistakenly downed by Iran during confrontation with US.
Citing an extensive review of satellite data, one official said the government had concluded with a high degree of certainty that Iranian anti-aircraft missiles brought down the plane.The data showed the Ukrainian International Airlines Boeing 737-800 bound for Kiev was airborne for two minutes after departing Tehran when the heat signatures of two surface-to-air missiles were detected, one of the officials said.
"Scientifically, it is impossible that a missile hit the Ukrainian plane, and such rumours are illogical," ISNA quoted Ali Abedzadeh as saying. "Somebody could have made a mistake on the other side," Trump said, referring to Iran. "Some people say it was mechanical. I don't think that's even a question personally."It occurred shortly after Iran had fired missiles at two US military bases in Iraq and Iranians were on high alert for a US military response.
