While the bodies are still warm the usual suspects have launched into another MH17 style "the bad men shot the plane down" story. https://www.dumptheguardian.com/world/2020/jan/09/tehran-crash-plane-downed-by-iranian-missile-western-officials-believe The main cheerleaders in this article are Jusitn "I'm a real liberal, watch me bomb some shit" Trudeau and the blond bullingdon buffoon. The Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, said his government “will not rest” until it got justice. “We have intelligence, including from our allies and own intelligence that the plane was shot down by Iranian surface-to-air missiles,” Trudeau said. “Canadians want answers. That means transparency, accountability and justice.” Western agencies are understood to have picked up signals of the missile launches followed by the traces of an explosion. A British source said: “The assessment is that it looks like it is a tragic accident.” In a statement on Thursday night, Boris Johnson said: “There is now a body of information that the flight was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile. This may well have been unintentional. We are working closely with Canada and our international partners and there now needs to be a full, transparent investigation.” Note the incredibly vague "intelligence sources are said to have" phrasing throughout, although that doesn't stop the fat lying lump of shit Johnson calling it "a body of information". Before these two were pushed onstage the main source for this information was as given lower in the article: The London-based firm IHS Markit cited the images in a memo arguing the aircraft was “likely to have been shot down mistakenly by an IRGC-operated SA-15 missile”. It said the debris appeared to be that of a Russian-made Tor-M1 missile known to be possessed by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. It could not confirm the authenticity of the images but said it assessed them to be credible. Who dey? https://ihsmarkit.com/index.html https://ihsmarkit.com/about/executives.html Essentially they are a wunch of bankers who provide information about the stock market but suddenly are the leading experts on surface to air missile technology. What a ####ing joke. Wot? No Bellingcat? It appears the brand is becoming toxic even to mainstream-fed audiences but never fear, they are still on the case, "analysing" photographs and making massive leaps to conclusions that suit their Atlantic Council paymasters. https://twitter.com/bellingcat/status/1215386776673640449 This looks like being the new MH17 and will be seized on by the Washington Warpigs as their new chew toy to demonise Iran. Personally I think they might have sacrificed another plane load of civiliians to further their war aims. An accidental shoot down is possible but I'm not buying it. |
