Did Iran Shoot Down Ukrainian Airlines Flight Shortly After Launching Missiles At US Bases in Iraq?

[easyt65]

The Ukrainian Airlines Boeing 737-800 with 180 passengers and crew aboard took off with no problems and ended up crashing into a field in Tehran, Iran, killing everyone aboard.

Iran now refuses to surrender the aircraft's Black Box, instead declaring nothing happened and there is nothing to be learned from the Black Box.

Some officials are now wondering if, after firing 15 missiles / rockets at US bases in Iraq, Iran became extremely nervous / paranoid about an American response and shot down the airliner, believing it might have been part of American retaliation for their attack on U troops in Iraq.

The FAA has since stopped 'all' flights in the region as a precautionary move.

Rod told me someone had seen a flame ball in one engine as it took off. Not sure how reliable the source was...

We'll never know. Maybe they thought Biden was on the plane headed to Ukraine. I don't like conspiracy theories but don't you find it a strange coincidence that the Democrats are defending Iran and Iran had a plane full of people going, of all places, to Ukraine? What an odd coincidence.

And now the democrats are silent about the attack, the impeachment AND the plane.

And if you were a pilot taking off, can you think of a WORSE TIME that you'd want to take off than right after a missile barrage was launched out of the country hitting a neighboring country? Being up in the sky is the last place I'd want to be.

'We'll never know'....probably the most accurate statement to be posted in this thread.

Why would Iran shoot down an Ukrainian aircraft to get even with the US? It makes no sense. Why that would be like attacking Iraq after a Saudi Arabian terrorist attack..Oh wait!
