Iran says its armed forces unintentionally shot down the Ukrainian airliner that crashed outside of an airport in Tehran
Iran on Saturday said an Ukrainian airliner that crashed outside of an airport in Tehran, killing all 176 people on board, was shot down unintentionally by its armed forces, according to a statement by its armed forces on state television.
The Boeing Co. 737-800 jet crashed four hours after Iran had launched military strikes against the U.S. in Iraq in retaliation for the killing of a top general and the Middle Eastern state was on high alert for potential U.S. response.
