Iran knew Ukrainian jetliner had been hit by a missile, recordings show

A transcript of the recording, published by Ukrainian 1+1 TV channel, contains a conversation in Farsi between an air-traffic controller and a pilot reportedly flying a Fokker 100 jet for Iran's Aseman Airlines from Iran's southern city of Shiraz to Tehran.

"A series of lights like … yes, it is a missile, is there something?" the pilot calls out to the controller. The US President was going to count this week as a win, but there are a few issues that could come back to haunt him, writes Washington bureau chief David Lipson.The pilot responds that he saw the light by the Payam airport, near where the Guard's Tor M-1 anti-aircraft missile was launched from."It is the light of a missile," the pilot says."Dear engineer, it was an explosion. We saw a very big light there, I don't really know what it was," the pilot responds.

It was a war-like situation & Iran's national security was at stake. Don't rush into judgment.
