Tehran / Washington, IANS / AFP. Iran has arrested a man who showed footage of a plane being hit by a missile in a case involving the downing of a Ukrainian passenger plane in Tehran. It is worth noting that Iran had earlier cited the technical fault as the reason for the plane crash but later it admitted to killing the plane. News agency IANS quoted a BBC report as saying that the person making the video could be charged with national security.

Meanwhile, news agency AFP has quoted a report from ‘The New York Times’ that the passenger plane of Ukraine was attacked with two missiles. The US newspaper has also published footage of the cameras in this report, showing two missiles before the plane was hit. It is known that the aircraft of Ukraine International Airlines was shot down by a missile immediately after takeoff on Wednesday, killing 176 passengers, including the crew.

The most important thing is that Iran was not ready to admit its mistake initially after the accident. For several days, he dismissed claims by Western countries that the Boeing 737 was shot down by a missile. Last Saturday, he confessed to killing the aircraft. Not only this, he also talked about arresting the culprits of this accident. Reports said that there have been 30 arrests in connection with the accident, but the actions of the person who exposed the lies of Iran are also questioning his actions.

People started demonstrating against Iran’s initial move to defy talk of the Ukrainian plane being killed. Even the police of Iran used force against the protesters. In order to disperse the protesters, bullets were fired and tear gas shells were also fired. After the video of the incident went viral, US President Trump had warned Iran not to try to assassinate the protesters, otherwise the consequences would be borne. Not only this, international human rights organizations also called on Iran not to take action against the protesters.
