Iran acknowledges that its military ‘unintentionally’ shot down a Ukrainian jetliner this week, killing all 176 aboard.
Iran announced Saturday that its military “unintentionally” shot down the Ukrainian jetliner that crashed earlier this week, killing all 176 aboard, after the government had repeatedly denied Western accusations that it was responsible.
A military statement carried by Iranian state media said the plane was mistaken for a “hostile target” after it turned toward a “sensitive military center” of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. The military was at its “highest level of readiness,” it said, amid the heightened tensions with the United States.
