DISINFO: Downing of PS752: The West is demonizing Iran
SUMMARY
The West accuses Tehran of involvement in the crash of the Ukrainian Boeing 737 in order to “demonize Tehran” and justify the US strike on Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani. The indictment campaign launched by a number of Western media indicates that this is an information attack against Iran.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory about the downing of the Ukrainian flight PS 752.
Iran has recognised that its military forces unintentionally shot down the passenger jet. On January 11, the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Hassan Rouhani wrote on Twitter: “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.”
Earlier, intelligence services of Canada and the United States informed that the Ukrainian plane was shot down by a surface-to-air missile minutes after departure from the Tehran airport.
