\"After
Iranian regime confesses to shot down Ukrainian passenger aircraft with IRGC missiles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Iranian regime confirmed it has\u00a0shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet<\/a>, a Boeing 737\u2013800,\u00a0en\u00a0route from Tehran International Airport to Kyiv with an\u00a0anti-aircraft missile on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime confirmed its crime after three consecutive days of lying. It had stated earlier that the plane crashed due to some technical issues. This bogus claim was rejected immediately by heads of states,\u00a0including those of\u00a0the United States and Canada, the latter having dozens of its citizens among the victims.<\/p>\n

U.S. Confirms #Iran<\/a> Regime’s Role in Shooting Down Ukrainian Airplane https:\/\/t.co\/kdpHeStIVL<\/a>#IranPlaneCrash<\/a>#FreeIran2020<\/a><\/p>\n

On\u00a0January 9, before the regime admitted\u00a0to its crime\u00a0of\u00a0shooting down the passenger jet under\u00a0international pressure,\u00a0Mrs.\u00a0Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the President-elect of\u00a0the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a>\u00a0while offering her condolences to the families of the passengers of the Ukrainian airliner, had affirmed that the passenger jet was shot down by the Iranian regime\u2019s missile.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Rajavi added: \u201cKhamenei, enraged and demoralized over the elimination of\u00a0Qassem Soleimani<\/a>, cannot challenge the United States, but has free reins in shooting at the people of Iran in the air and on the ground and takes revenge on the Iranian people. He is now threatening the\u00a0Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI\/MEK)<\/a>\u00a0in Albania.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ali Khamenei cannot confront the U.S. but finds an open hand in targeting and firing at the people of Iran on the ground and in air. Instead of the U.S., Khamenei took revenge from the people of #Iran<\/a>, and now, it is making threats against the PMOI\/MEK in Albania<\/p>\n
