Missile struck underneath cockpit - Ukraine

Ukraine's top security official, Oleksiy Danilov, has told the BBC that his country's investigators had already gathered evidence that a missile brought down a Ukrainian passenger jet, before Iran changed its position.

After initially denying responsibility, Tehran has admitted that Ukraine International Airlines flight PS-752 crashed as a result of "human error" when it was misidentified as a cruise missile.

By Donie O'Sullivan and Artemis Moshtaghian, CNN Business
Updated 0017 GMT (0817 HKT) January 11, 2020

Washington DC (CNN Business)Instagram and its parent company Facebook are removing posts that voice support for slain Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani to comply with US sanctions, a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement to CNN Business Friday.
The Iranian government has called for nationwide legal action against Instagram in protest, even creating a portal on a government website for the app's users to submit examples of posts the company removed, Iranian state media reported.

Looks to me like the Mullahs will "encourage" a few resignations... and press on.

Qatar to offer Iran $3 billion for Ukrainian plane victims

Qatari Emir makes surprise visit to Tehran to offer compensation for 176 passengers killed after plane is unintentionally shot down by Iranian missiles.

Iranian activists criticised the Qatari attempt to help the Iranian regime, describing it as "covering up for a crime”.

Sunday 12/01/2020

DOHA - Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani is in Tehran on Sunday amid regional tensions following the US killing of Iranian commander and Iran accidentally shooting down a Ukrainian jetliner.

According to several sources, the reason for the visit is for the Emir of Qatar to offer President Hassan Rouhani $3 billion in compensation for the 176 passengers who lost their lives following Iran’s admission that it shot down the Ukraine-bound aircraft after mistaking it for a ‘hostile target’.

In a statement, Sheikh Tamim was quoted by the Iranian presidency as saying that "Qatar will not forget Iran's position on the sanctions imposed on Doha,” in a tacit nod of acknowledgment for past Iranian support. .

Despite being close to the United States, even hosting Washington’s largest Middle East base, Qatar also enjoys strong ties with Iran, with whom it shares the world’s largest gas field.

Doha’s relationship with Tehran has been a primary contributor to tensions with former Gulf allies the UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

Protests continue...

Serious stuff with Iran Regime prepared to arrest and kill protesters. They are brave to persist.

HOWEVER... as with all protests.... marching and shouting in the street does not achieve anything. In Iran it might even get you KILLED!

The protesters need GOALS! What do they want? Obviously they want the Rule by Mullahs to end, but who or what replaces it?

Is there a LEADER that the crowd would follow? Do they have viable political parties? Do they want elections?

I have heard calls to bring back the "Shah".... he is dead, but his son in exile seems to want to be reinstated. I know almost nothing.. but he seems like a bit of an opportunist? I dont think the old Shah was that great.. that is why the "Revolution" overthrew him. It would seem silly to me to bring his family back as rulers? I don't think the current guy has any (male) kids? And so after him the succession would likely be a mess. A female Shah might be a bit problematic? An aging Cousin of the old Shah, and then his (legitimate) descendants... maybe.

Iran keeps concocting fake news on downed jet
By Stephen Bryen, January 12, 2020

Iran continues to tell false and deliberately misleading stories about the downing of Ukrainian Airline’s Flight PS-752, including the story that a nervous missile operator “with only six seconds” to decide, mistakenly shot down the jet. Tehran says the operator thought he was shooting at a cruise missile.
[.....]
This attack on PS-752 was no accident. It was a criminal act that must have been authorized by the Revolutionary Guard force that runs Tehran’s missile defenses.

Prior to the presence of Iraqis and militiamen at the scene of the Suleiman car, US troops were on the scene a kilometer away, dragging the corpse off and taking pictures with them.

FOX claim the photos are "exclusive" and I see articles that show just the ones that Fox aired, complete with pixelation to censor. However, the Photo of the automatic weapon with "embedded body parts" blurred out, I have found on twitter NOT censored.

MORE Libtard Triggering from the Troll-master in Chief….

Image
https://twitter.com/D0wn_Under/status/1 ... 6191605760


I wish the #IranProtesters well... replacing the Ayatollah rule with some sort of secular government has got to be an improvement. It takes away the rabid Islamic quest to spread their control across the ME (and the world). However who KNOWS what the next government will be like? I am not sure the people in ME lands are suited to "Democracy"? They function best with a "Ruler".. but of course it depends on what sort of ruler. Calls to bring back the Monarchy... the Crown Prince (Shah of Iran's son) seem fraught with danger to me.. but I guess it's their choice.

I found a YT Channel that does animations of plane flights (simulations). Version of PS752 crash looks to be inaccurate, based on most recent updates, but maybe he will do a better one?
