Several Iranian officials on Friday denied allegations that the regime shot down a Ukrainian International Airlines plane, killing all 176 people on board.
Ali Abedzadeh, head of Iran’s national aviation department, said that “what is obvious to us and we can say for sure is that no missile has hit the plane,” according to the state-run Tasnim News Agency. “The aircraft was flying for more than one and a half minutes after it caught fire,” he said.
