3rd aniversary of tragic UAI 752 flight
3 years ago, in the height of the tension after the assassination of IRGC general Soleimani, the nervous and scared air defence operators fired 2 TOR- M1 SAM towards Boeing 737-800 flying from Tehran international airport to Ukraine, kkilling all 176 passengers and crew aboard.
The passenger manifest lists 176 people - 15 of them children - giving their names and dates of birth, but not their nationalities.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko initially released details that said there were 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians including all nine crew, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Britons and three Germans on board.
However, on 10 January, Canada's Foreign Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said the number of Canadians on the plane was now believed to be 57.
For 3 days, regime media tried hard to deny their deadly mistake before they finally blamed the operators of the defense systems for this deadly accident and whitewash their own hands from any responsibility.

On Nov. 7, 1917, Bolshevik Red Guards under the command of the Revolutionary Military Committee seized power in Petrograd, then the capital of the Russian Empire, by capturing key government positions and laying siege to the Winter Palace.
The Communist Party of #Australia was founded in Sydney on Oct. 30 & 31, 1920 by 26 members of the Australian Socialist Party (ASP), the Victorian #Socialist Party, the Industrial Workers of the World and other labor unions, in the hall of the #ASP.
#OnThisDay, 2002, #UN weapons inspectors said they supported #USA plan to deliver a tough warning to #Iraq Saddam Hussein. However, they insisted it should be up to the Security Council, not inspectors, to decide on war. #OTD
#OnThisDay, 2002, #British PM Blair said "#Iraq has a growing arsenal of chemical and biological weapons and plans to use them." He also unveiled an intelligence dossier to a special session of Parliament. Later, it was revealed he was lying and only wanted to start a war. #OTD
40 years ago, an Israeli-allied armed group attacked the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon’s capital Beirut.
In June 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon with the stated aim of destroying the PLO.
#OTD #Palestine #Lebanon #Politics #History #CrimeAgainstHumanity
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) is an umbrella of Palestinian political parties, created in 1964 with the aim of liberating Palestine through armed struggle.
The #PLO withdrew from Lebanon by September 1, 1982, two weeks later, Israeli forces besieged Sabra and Shatila.
They provided cover for a right-wing #Lebanese militia called the #Phalange to carry out the mass killings that continued for 43 hours.
As many as 3,500 people - mostly Palestinians - were killed. Here’s a look at what happened
#Refugees of the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps were victims of the 1948 #Nakba, fleeing the violent ethnic cleansing of Palestine by #Zionist militias as #Israel was formed.
The UN General Assembly passed a resolution declaring the massacre an “act of #genocide”.
Though no one has been held accountable for the crimes of the #Sabra and #Shatila #massacre.
#OnThisDay, 2002, #Iraq said it was ready to discuss the return of U.N. inspectors for further investigation on WMD. However #USA and #NATO did not accept and invaded the counry months later where no weapon was found. #OTD
It was all a lie
