A year ago today, #Iran’s IRGC deliberately shot down Ukrainian flight #PS752, killing all 176 on board.

Regime officials have lied from day one & just recently blamed it on “U.S. adventurism.”

Ukrainian forensics chief Alexander Ruvin suggested from evidence obtained that passengers on flight PS752 were out of their seats before two missiles hit the plane outside Tehran, capital of #Iran.

"And [yet] we saw the corpses of the dead lying on the ground, without seats…if the people were fastened, they would fall with their seats, as was the case with passengers of [shot-down] flight MH17 [in Ukraine]," he added.

The plane was downed on the same morning that Iran launched ballistic missiles targeting US forces in Iraq. Asked why didn’t officials clear the skies of passenger planes, one official said it would have revealed Iran’s intention to launch the attack.
5)
The Iranian side immediately bulldozed the site of the downed airplane, obviously to hide important evidence.
Even their UK ambassador @baeidinejad lied about this.

Feb 19—Iran's Defense Minister said the PS752 black box had "sustained noticeable damage."

Another lie by Iran's regime.
The day after the downing, state TV reported the black boxes were “intact” & the “data can be downloaded.”

Iran's IRGC Aerospace chief later claimed the SAM battery operator mistook PS752 with a cruise missile.

Reminder: Cruise missile - 6.25m (20ft) long & 0.52m (21in) in diameter

Boeing 737–800 - Wing span 34.31m (112ft 7in), length 39.47m (129ft 6in), height 12.55m

Regarding Iran’s claim that the air defense unit operator mistook Flight #PS752 with a cruise missile, it is worth noting that a cruise missile has a completely different radar signature. It is impossible to see it as a passenger plane.

#Iran also fails to answer why multiple SAM missiles were launched?

Surface to air missiles explode near their target to spray it with shrapnel. This increases the impact ratio significantly.

Images from #PS752 show clear signs of shrapnel.

A local took this image near the #PS752 site clearly shows the control segment of a TOR M1 missile. Reports indicate the individual who took the initial image was arrested by authorities.

In #Iran, the IRGC — designated as a “terrorist organization” by the U.S. State Department — has such TOR M1 units at its disposal. (Image from a parade in Iran back in September 2013.)

#Iran's Armed Forces claimed the plane was "unintentionally" hit by a military unit based on "human error," and the plane was heading toward a sensitive IRGC site at a dangerous altitude and in the shape of a hostile aircraft.
#PS752
14)
While #Iran's regime claims #PS752's flight path was heading toward a sensitive IRGC site, it is worth noting that four other flights had taken the same path from midnight local time prior to PS752's departure at 6:12 am local time.

A man who lost his wife & child on this plane says he has received a sound recording of a senior-level meeting in Iran where officials decided to down a passenger plane & specifically picked PS752 among three flights. Canadian officials have this file.

Theory:

- #Iran launched missiles on US forces in Iraq in response to Soleimani’s killing

-Iran expected a US response, therefore kept airspace open to flights

-Iran shot down flight #PS752 to then blame it on US’ retaliatory strike

No US attack occurred. 176 people died.

On February 3, Reuters cited Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy saying a recording shows #Iran knew immediately it had shot down the #PS752 plane.

Questions left unanswered by #Iran:

-Why did they allow civilian flights to take off after launching ballistic missiles targeting military bases in Iraq where U.S. troops were stationed?

-Why did the IRGC shoot down #PS752 with multiple missiles?
19)
-If one missile was an error, why launch multiple missiles?

-Why did officials lie for three days?

-Why is Iran delay delaying to this day & psychologically torture the victims’ families?

Signs indicate the IRGC deliberately shot down #PS752.

Ukrainian officials have not ruled out such a scenario.

An international investigation is needed & #Iran’s regime must be held accountable.

In memory of the 176 innocent lives lost...
ADDENDUM:

#Iran apologists/lobbyists, such as @NegarMortazavi, were quick to whitewash the regime's crime.

You be the judge on her remarks regarding #PS752.
ADDENDUM:

An int'l probe on #PS752 has been the victim of appeasement vis-a-vis #Iran's regime.

Jan 8—IRGC shot down PS752, killing all 176 on board, including 57 Canadians.

Feb 14—Canadian PM @JustinTrudeau bows before Iran's chief apologist @JZarif.
