FILE - In this Jan. 8, 2020, file photo, debris at the scene where a Ukrainian plane crashed in Shahedshahr southwest of the capital Tehran, Iran. Iran has retrieved some data, including a portion of cockpit conversations, from the Ukrainian jetliner accidentally downed by the Revolutionary Guard forces in January, killing all 176 people on board, an Iranian official said Sunday, Aug. 23, 2020.
The development comes months after the Jan. 8 crash near Tehran. Iranian authorities had initially denied responsibility, only changing course days later, after Western nations presented extensive evidence that Iran had shot down the plane.The shootdown happened the same night Iran launched a ballistic missile attack targeting U.S. soldiers in Iraq, its response to the American drone strike that killed Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad on Jan. 3.
For days after the crash, Iranian investigators combed the site, sifting through the debris of the plane. Representatives from the U.S., Ukraine, France, Canada, Britain and Sweden — countries whose citizens were killed in the crash — were present during the process to gather data from the recorders, Zangeneh said.
That report said the surface-to-air missile battery that targeted the Boeing 737-800 had been relocated and was not properly reoriented. Those manning the missile battery could not communicate with their command center, they misidentified the civilian flight as a threat and opened fire twice without getting approval from ranking officials, it said.
The assassination of Soleimani was Pompeo's half-cocked idea that resulted in the deaths of 176 lives.
Where else in the world would you have the criminals themselves to be in charge of investigating their own crime? Is this a joke? ps752justice
Your reporting is misleading. Iranian govt and IRGC claim it was “accidental” but it is not proven. If it was accidental why did they hit it again with the second missile after being in contact with the airplane knowing the first one was a mistake? ps752justice
Going to be interesting what the recordings say
Be a better news source. Most people would rather not be news, if that makes sense.
Why do they need data from it, they already know who shot it down.
AP, remind us who 'downed' the plane?
You'll answer for your crimes. Despots never end well.

Iran says US has no right to demand restoration of sanctionsIran’s foreign minister in a letter to the U.N. Security Council said the U.S. has no right to demand the restoration of U.N. sanctions against Iran, the Foreign Ministry&39;s website said Friday. Mohammad Javad Zarif said the U.S. lost the right to make demands in 2018 when it withdrew from the nuclear Trump displayed leadership. He knew that they knew that we had hundreds of targets already input into Weapons Systems ready to destroy their entire country, yet he allowed them to blow up a garbage dump and save face.

Trump administration furious with Europe refusal to back US over Iran - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. European allies should be calling for Pompeo's arrest for aiding and abetting an obvious criminal... and he may well be yet, the obese POS. No one is going to side with him on anything (except his rabies infested followers) because they all know he's going to prison as soon as JoeBiden kicks the snot out of him.

U.S. faces opposition to Iran sanctions 'snap back' demandSec. Pompeo insists that the U.S. has the legal right to “snap back” UN sanctions even though President Trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six major powers that was endorsed by the UN Security Council. Sorry it don’t work like gave up your right when you quit.😂 It’s like we have ignorant children in charge of our government. You can’t claim the Iran deal was horrible, pull out, not put anything in place to replace it, then get to use parts of the deal that was horrible and you pulled out of. Why lead with Pompeo's lie? Report the facts.
