Washington … News Time
US newspaper The New York Times has revealed that the military admitted to slamming Ukrainian aircraft over threats of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s resignation otherwise he was trying to hide the matter. New York Times reports that Iran fired ballistic missiles at US forces on January 7, which was on high alert for a counter-attack by Iran, the United States, and the Iranian military threatened to launch more missiles. According to the report, the Revolutionary Officer spotted an unidentified plane near Tehran International Airport and had a few seconds to make a decision. Officers attempted to reach the command center to allow the plane to be struck but could not be contacted. So they fired an anti-aircraft craft missile and then another, resulting in the crash of a Ukrainian plane and killing 176 people. The report said that minutes after the plane was downed, the top commanders of the Revolutionary Revolution realized what they had done and immediately began trying to hide the incident. It was further reported that the revolutionaries had also refused to tell the truth to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, whose government was publicly rejecting statements about the aircraft being dropped.
According to the New York Times, when the passenger revolution informed Hassan Rouhani about the Ukrainian plane crash, the Iranian president gave an ultimatum to accept responsibility or he would resign. Within 72 hours of the Ukrainian plane’s crash, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei intervened and ordered the government to make a serious mistake. According to reports, Iranian general was preparing to retaliate for the killing of Qasem Soleimani on January 7 but the government had allowed civilian commercial flights from Tehran Airport to fly and fly. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, General of the Aerospace Force of the Passengers Revolution, said that his units had asked the authorities in Tehran to close the Iranian airspace and ground all flights. However, Iranian officials feared that doing so would spark chaos that the war with the United States was imminent. On January 8, the Inquiry Committee had said that the plane was struck due to human error, during which Ayatollah Khamenei was informed but the President was not informed of the other elected officials and the public.
Iranian officials said that on January 9, Hassan Rouhani tried to call the military commanders several times but there was no response, members of his government tried to contact the military and were told that the allegations of flying planes were false, the same was reported to Iran’s Civil Aviation Agency. On the morning of January 10, government spokesman Ali Rabiei issued a statement, saying that the accusation by Iran of airliner was a major lie. Several hours later that day, Iran’s top military commanders called for a private meeting and told Hassan Rouhani the truth. According to close officials of the Iranian president, Hassan was a spiritual ruin and demanded to admit the tragic mistake and accept the consequences immediately. However, military officials refused and said it would create instability in the country, but Hassan Rouhani had threatened to resign. At 7am on January 11, the Iranian army issued a statement saying that Iran had fired a Ukrainian plane due to human error.
