#Iran's Armed Forces General Staff statement: Ukraine Int'l Airline flight #PT752 was "unintentionally" hit by a military site & based on "human error".

My take:
After two days of complete denial, the mullahs' regime is utterly weakened & desperate to close the case. Image
#Iran's Armed Forces claim the plane was heading toward a sensitive IRGC site at an altitude & in the shape of a hostile aircraft.

This is a lie.

1 to 3 screenshots show #PS752's initial flight path.
4th screenshot shows the aircraft after it was struck. ImageImageImageImage
@no_itsmyturn As correctly reminded by @dustave, while #Iran's regime claims the #PS752's flight path was heading toward a sensitive IRGC site, four other flights had taken the same path from midnight local time prior to PS752's departure at 6:12am local time. Image

.@planetlabs have released the first Sat. imagery of Ain Al Assad Airbase after the #Iran attack showing the damage caused. #Iraq #US
Aircraft shelters appear to be directly hit. In the grand scheme of things, that's just a material lose however.
@planetlabs imagery was processed through @MIIS as per watermark.

1. Thread #Iraq| Footage emerging (not verified) of the U.S Phalanx land-based Close in Weapon System (CIWS) called CRAM (counter-rocket, artillery and mortar systems) being triggered at Iranian incoming missiles.
2. Via @BabakTaghvaee, the 2 Iranian missiles used to attack Erbil and Al-Assad airbase were the ‘Fateh-313 (long range variant of Fateh-110) and Qiam-1’. U.S CRAM Close in Weapon System based at Erbil shot down 1 Iranian Qiam-1. ##Iraq
3. #Iraq| I was deployed to Baghdad International Airbase in 2006/7, and the CRAM Close in Weapons System would fire everyday at incoming mortars and rockets. As you can hear from this footage taken in Iraq in 2009, it’s a menacing sound. WATCH👇🏼

1: The key here is the reaction of the people.

Most Iraqis don't like the Iranians and the Iranian influence. The anti govt protests there were against a govt controlled by the Iranians and against the Iranians themselves. The PMUs were the ones using snipers to shoot protesters
2: With regards to #Iran, this is a big event that can't go without retaliation. The situation can easily lead to a full scale war. Everybody in the region is now preparing for the eventuality of war.

If conflict starts, It'll be a regional war including Israel, Hezboallah, etc
3: Let's not even talk about the price of oil if conflict starts. This is the oil hub of the world & doesn't matter is a country is self sufficient in oil or not. Oil follows an international price. So if the fireworks go in big scale, oil will skyrocket & the economy 👎

- How #Iran🇮🇷 is waging war on U.S via their proxies in #Iraq🇮🇶
The storming of the U.S embassy compound in Baghdad is happening in the presence government and paramilitary officials including Faleh Al Fayadh, Abu Mahdi Al Muhandis and particularly Hadi Al Ameri along with their Iran-backed militias & proxies.
While al-Amiri’s political party has sought to downplay its role as an IRI proxy, al-Amiri himself remains loyal to Iran’s Supreme Leader. In 2015, al-Amiri said of Khamenei that he “is the leader not only for Iranians but the Islamic nation. I believe so and I take pride in it.”
