ROTFLMAO. finger was on the button. Target apparel, boom.
No one in Iran is saying the dvil made me do it.
Why would anyone bulldoze the site, if the event was as simple as you say?
There’s more to the story.
I hope people use their head more than their mouth.
Iran wanted to deny responsibility
It really is just that simple…

Just like Trump alone does not constitute the US policies and actions, no single person in Iran determines everything Iran does.
They initially denied the fact they shot down the airliner. Bulldozing is called hiding the evidence as was the initial we will not turn over the black box.
Then the video appears, compelling evidence.
Then the admission that they did shoot it down.
Do you not read the accounts presented all over the internet? THINK!

Iran Says Its Military Shot Down Ukrainian Plane in ‘Disastrous Mistake’
Iran said on Saturday its military had mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian plane killing all 176 aboard, saying air defenses were fired in error while on alert in the tense aftermath of Iranian missile strikes on US targets in Iraq.
Three days ago in post 90 I predicted that Iran would own the accident and move on…
Of course you will. Why accept the obvious truth when you want to believe yet another BS conspiracy theory?

Because they were trying to cover up what actually happened.
Once the US and allies were able to dissect all of the data it was obvious and they could no longer hide it and were then forced to admit it was their own forces who accidentally shot it down.
Iran is run by a dictator, he makes those decisions.

Maybe you can explain a motive and benefit to intentionally shoot it down.
To blame it on the US just like they did with flight 655 thirty years ago.
It could not work this time because the US did not send in airstrikes in response to their missile strikes.
Do I believe it was intentional? Not this time, just more evidence of their incompetence.
Why couldn’t they just have made a mistake, which makes the most sense???
They probably didn’t expect it to bacfire on themand bulldozed the area to make evidence gathering useless.
They always use the propaganda campaign to implicate the U.S.
In this case I think human error is the most sensible explanation.
Had we been engaged in airstrikes at the time then I wouldn’t put it past them to do something like this intentionally because they have done so before.
The question you have to ask yourself, if they were concerned why didn’t they shut down their airspace which would have prevented the airliner from taking off.
Allowing any civilian traffic at all immediately following the missile launches was an act of either intent, or grossly and criminally negligent.
This is why it’s hard to completely dismiss the idea that they did it intentionally hoping to blame it on a US airstrike and “fog of war”.
The same exact intent or negligence resulted in the downing of flight 655 back in 88.

Two minutes after take off, the transponder, communications, and lights on the aircraft were shut off, obviously via remote. It flew in this hacked configuration for approximately 4 minutes and 30 seconds before, in error, Iranian ground forces mistook it for a cruise missile and shot it down, with Iran’s top nuclear physicists aboard. The plane was sent out during a no fly order to get the most important people (and their families) out of Iran before a war broke out, which Iran was expecting.
The only question in this story now is who interfered with communications between the airport, the military, and the pilots, who went dark for a considerable length of time before the missiles were launched. Approximately 1 minute after the first missile was launched, a second one was launched though the first one probably would have downed the plane despite it not being on fire. Eight minutes after take off, it crashed.
My guess is Israel is the one that hacked the plane and shut the transponder, lights and radios off to force it to fly completely dark, the way a cruise missile would. They are the only ones celebrating.
As corrupt as Ukraine is, Iran SHOULD NOT turn over the black boxes until they have at least copied what is on the cockpit voice recorder. If whatever is reported to have come off that voice recorder does not mimic what I just said above, the wrong people will have “analyzed it”, you know, like how accurately American votes get counted.
Interesting. I hadn’t considered that twist
