I can hardly imagine that the Iranians would allow foreign intelligence to manipulate airliners at Imam Khomeini airport, but the B-737 might have arrived at Tehran from Kiev where maintenance and security could be much more generous...
That's an interesting statement? So far, the discussion on this plane accident has mainly focused on - that this "Kiev-bound Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737-800 crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran, Iran, early Wednesday morning (6 A.M.), killing all 176 passengers and nine crew members on board" and it's possible flight pattern and what caused the crash. It might be wise to step back and also look at where the plane was prior to coming to Tehran?
I remember awhile back, when Poroshenko was still President, something about Israeli Security Services handling Civilian airport security in Ukraine. I'm unable to locate that information on the web, might have to do a deeper search but when I typed in "Ukraine International Airlines security" this was the top link - looks like you can book flights from this site.

In this article below, it states, "that the pilot of the doomed vehicle courageously
steered it out of the way of a residential area and towards a soccer field, crashing onto it and subsequently into a canal." Question is, "If the plane was hit with a missile, could the Pilot still steer it (some reports state in a "U" turn back towards the airport) before crashing in a ball of flame?"
This plane crash comes on the heels of the assassination in Iraq. I think, there is little doubt that Netanyahu (Mossad-CIA) might be behind both of these incidences? Plus, they both happened near airports. There is probably many ways of looking at this plane crash, one might be ... if Netanyahu can assassinate a top Iranian General in Iraq - he can penetrate Iran and assassinate a President, as well. This plane incident, as tragic as it is, may be a warning and shot across the bow to Iran?
Questions Surround Mysterious Plane Crash in Iran That Left 176 Dead
A Kiev-bound Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737-800 crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran, Iran, early Wednesday morning, killing all 176 passengers and nine crew members on board. The head of the Red Crescent
told Iranian news agency ISNA that it was “obviously impossible” that any passengers on flight PS-752 survived. A
witness to the incident claimed that
the pilot of the doomed vehicle courageously steered it out of the way of a residential area and towards a soccer field, crashing onto it and subsequently into a canal. Ukraine International Airlines said that the aircraft disappeared from radar screens a few minutes after takeoff. The winter’s light brought with it sobering images of the wreckage.
The flight appeared to be gaining altitude (as normal?) until it suddenly stops,
having reduced in speed by one knot before data stopped. 8:30 PM - 7 Jan 2020
American Officials Say Intelligence Points To Iran Shooting Down Ukrainian Airliner (Updated)
January 9, 2020 - Officials have already categorically denied that it shot down the aircraft, highlighting the large number of Iranians onboard and describing reports of a shoot down as "
psychological warfare." Outlets in Iran were first to report the crash and almost immediately stated that a "technical fault" was responsible.
Iranian officials
have also since said that
the aircraft appeared to turn back toward the airport in Tehran before plummeting into the ground and that air traffic controllers never received a distress call. Iran has reportedly recovered the black boxes from the aircraft, but says that they are damaged.
UPDATE: 1:25PM EST—
President Donald Trump has not confirmed the reports that U.S. intelligence points to Iran shooting down the Ukrainian airliner, but has now told reporters that it was flying through a "rough neighborhood" and "I have a feeling that...something very terrible happened."
UPDATE: 2:25PM EST—
An video has emerged on social media purporting to show an Iranian surface-to-air missile impacting flight PS752,
but there has been no verification of its authenticity as of yet.
UPDATE: 8:10PM EST
There are also
unconfirmed reports that Iran may have cleared the crash site and bulldozed the remains of the wreckage into a single large pile, which, deliberately or not, could have compromised physical evidence that the aircraft was shot down.
UPDATE: 1/10/2020—
More reports have emerged that the crash site has been virtually cleared, rather than cordoned off and preserved for a deep forensic investigation, and that there is no security in place to prevent scavengers or anyone else from removing potential evidence of what happened to flight PS752.
A Dubious Official Story Masks the True Motives Behind the Soleimani Assassination
A Dubious Official Story Masks the True Motives Behind the Soleimani Assassination
January 3, 2020 -
BAGHDAD — The recent assassination of Iran’s most popular and well-known general, Qassem Soleimani, has stoked fears that a new war pitting the U.S. and its allies against Iran could soon become a devastating and deadly reality. The airstrike that killed Soleimani, conducted by the U.S. in Baghdad,
was conducted without the authorization or even prior notification of the U.S. Congress and without the approval of Iraq’s government or military, making the attack flagrantly illegal on multiple levels. The attack also killed Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, who was an advisor to Soleimani.
Notably, the assassination of Soleimani comes
just a few months after an alleged Israeli attempt to kill the Iranian general failed
and amid a well-documented and decades-long push by U.S. neoconservatives and Israeli officials for a U.S.-led war with Iran.
[...] Israel may have planned to assassinate the general as a means of provoking war with Iran, which Netanyahu was actively promoting last February. At the time,
Newsweek reported that “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed his desire to go to war with Iran, and said he was meeting with dozens of foreign envoys, including those from the Arab world, in order to push the initiative forward.” Yet, with Israel’s closest ally having done the deed, Israel has
kept relatively quiet about the incident, though
Iranian officials have claimed that the assassination of Soleimani was jointly conducted by the U.S. and Israel.
Israel’s Fingerprints Are All Over the Assassination of Qasem Soleimani
Israel’s Fingerprints Are All Over the Assassination of Qasem Soleimani
January 6, 2020 - Although there has been no official confirmation or denial of the Israeli role in the US operation,
it is only logical to assume indirect or even direct Israeli involvement in the assassination.
Over the last few months, the possibility of a war against Iran has once more gained momentum, topping the agenda of Israel’s foreign policy makers. Politically beleaguered
Netanyahu has repeatedly and tirelessly asked his friends in Washington to increase pressure on Teheran.
Moreover, the fingerprints of the Israeli intelligence, the Mossad, are unmistakably present in the assassination. It is plausible that the attack at Soleimani’s convoy near the Baghdad International airport
was a joint CIA-Mossad operation.
It is well-known that Israel has more experience in targeted assassinations in the region than all Middle Eastern countries combined.
It is no secret that Israel is
itching for a war against Iran. Yet all of
Tel Aviv’s efforts have
failed to bring about US-led war similar to the Iraq invasion in 2003. The most that Netanyahu could achieve in terms of US support in that regard was a
decision by the Trump administration to renege on the US commitment to the international community by withdrawing from the Iran Nuclear Treaty in May 2018.
That coveted Israeli war seemed assured when Iran, after various provocations and the slapping by Washington of yet more sanctions,
shot down a US unmanned aerial vehicle that, as Iran maintained,
violated the country’s airspace, on June 20, 2019.
Even then, the US response fell short of achieving the all-out war that Netanyahu has been so frantically
seeking.
But much has happened since then, including a repeat of Netanyahu’s
failure to win a decisive election, thus securing another term in office, compounding the Israeli Prime Minister’s fully justified fear that he could eventually find himself behind bars for operating a massive racket of bribes and misuse of power.
Iran will
certainly respond, not only against American targets but Israeli targets as well, for Teheran is
convinced that Israel has played a major role in the operation.
