A US government statement said: "It is clear that these missiles were launched from Iran and targeted at least two Iraqi military bases hosting US military and coalition personnel at Al Assad and Erbil.

"We are working on initial battle damage assessments.

"These bases have been on high alert due to indications that the Iranian regime planned to attack our forces and interests in the region.

"As we evaluate the situation and our response, we will take all necessary measures to protect and defend US personnel, partners, and allies in the region."

Would the missiles have been picked up by Flightradar or whatever it's called?  Tehran air traffic control possibly had no idea missiles where being fired?  Where were the locations they were fired from?

The yanks supposedly want an excuse to go in and invade Iran, so kill one of their top generals on foreign soil to incite a reaction

They get a reaction when they launch missiles into a sovereign nation, thus blowing up 2 Yank bases, yet the yanks tell us there's no personnel present at the time of the attack, thus killing no one but harming the Yanky pride

They (Iran) then down a commercial flight that has no part in this whole affair, killing 150+ innocent civilians because? well there's no good reason other than a sheer filthy act from the Iranians.

The Canadians and UK intelligence supposedly have "evidence" it was shot down, there's video evidence of it being shot down even the UK and US media. Yet the yanks say it was done by accident and aren't interested in it at all, and are happy that the Iranians are standing down...

All the above is just facts, makes absolutely fack all sense whatsoever, what was the whole point in the past few days "stand off". 150+ innocent lives lost for absolutely nothing whatsoever.

With today's technology, when a missile kills someone, it was intended for him. And when it misses someone, it was intended to miss.

Now Iran says plane had a technical issue.
We say it was shot down.

Either way, it doesn't matter. Iran has urged everyone to get involved, including boeing. They can get involved and prove whatever they want to prove. Come up with evidence, or believe Iran's version. What's so hard about that?

Iran has bulldozed the crash site where a passenger jet came down two days ago, sparking fears of a cover-up after Tehran today denied the West's 'big lie' that Iranian missiles shot down the plane.

The debris of the Boeing 737 has been removed from the crash site near Tehran before Ukrainian investigators have even arrived - leaving the site at the mercy of scavengers.

Iran says it is 'opening' the plane's black boxes today but has indicated it will not allow the US government to analyse their contents.

Washington and its allies believe that the plane was shot down by two Iranian surface-to-air missiles which were launched and detected by satellites just minutes after the airliner took off.

So an attack on a Nato member is a good enough excuse for america to get involved. That's how they got Europe into their wars.

Iran's military says it "unintentionally" shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet, Iran's state TV reports.

The statement, released on Saturday morning, said it had done so due to "human error".

Those responsible would be held accountable, the statement read on state TV said.

Iran had previously rejected suggestions that one of its missiles brought down the plane near the capital, Tehran, on Wednesday.

The crash of Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 with the loss of 176 lives came just hours after Iran carried out missile strikes on two airbases housing US forces in Iraq.

Iranians have gathered in the streets of Tehran to demand the resignation of Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei after the regime admitted it had mistakenly shot down a passenger plane.

Angry crowds gathered on Saturday night chanting 'death to liars' and calling for the country's supreme leader to step down over the tragic military blunder, video from the scene shows.

What began as mournful vigils for Iranian lives lost on the flight quickly turned to outrage and protest against the regime, and riot police quickly responded with tear gas in an attempt to break up the protests.

Initially a missile  took out the 737 pas jets comm equip and its transponder, the video showing it being struck was taken After a loud explosion was heard, you can see a flash and 10 secs later hear the bang, this is the second hit and there was possibly a third although the different video angles are a shade confusing.Not sure the Iranians cleared the wreckage but let's face it nearly all the people on board were born in Iran and must be highly embarrassing for the the regime although its all been a bit bizarre and a good few spaces needing filled in on this fiasco.

Those pictures are good injera. Odd that anything put on here showing what Britain was like in the 60s is quickly removed.

If the Iranian leader says he "doesn't care what the facts are" and they "will never apologise" for their country they will be as big a shambles as America after downing a civilian plane.

Iran claimed all the 'Canadian' victims as Iranian, it's possible the Brits were the same.

I had thought BBC would have covered the victims a bit more if they were 'diverse' brits. I noticed their coverage of the canadian victims mentioned how canada was in mourning, showing a shot of some iranians reading the koran sitting in a room.
