#iranbriefing / Ukrainian officials have voiced some optimism after two days of talks with #Iranian officials in Tehran over the downing of a passenger airline in January by Iran’s anti-aircraft fire.
Talks between The Ukrainian and Iranian delegations on October 19 and 20 focused on Ukraine’s demands of full information from Iran on the details of its investigation into the incident and the pursuit of those responsible for firing two missiles that brought down the Ukrainian (UIA) flight PS752.
Iran has promised to provide full and detailed information within a week of its legal investigation and criminal proceedings, according to members of the Ukrainian delegation. Iran has agreed to also provide “documentary evidence” of the detention of six people who were involved in shooting down the jetliner.
On January 8, Iran fired ballistic missiles at American bases in Iraq in retaliation for the United States’ killing of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad and was expecting a possible US retaliation. However, it did not close the civilian airspace and both civil and military aviation authorities allowed the Ukrainian plane to take off. All 176 passengers and crew were killed in the crash.
Iran first denied the plane had been shot down and after three days it admitted the incident but ascribed it to “human error” but never released a full report and there has been no evidence of a real legal pursuit of those responsible for issuing the order to fire missiles.
According to Ukranian officials, Iran has also promised to return a key piece of evidence, the crew deck of the plane recovered after the crash.
