#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
