Ayatollah Khamenei called ‎on authorities to make all details about the accidental downing of a Ukrainian jet public after ‎he heard about it.

Iran says a Ukrainian plane which crashed outside Tehran this week had flown close to a ‎sensitive military site and been brought down due to human error “at a time of crisis caused ‎by US adventurism.” ‎

Iran’s top aviation official says the results of a probe into the crash of a Ukrainian passenger ‎plane in Tehran will show what has happened, but Iran is certain no missile hit the aircraft.‎
