“There were American F-35s in the air.” Lavrov reported important details on Boeing
At the time of the tragedy with the death of the Ukrainian Boeing near Tehran, Iranian air defenses were expecting a US strike.
Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergei Lavrov stated this during a press conference, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I mentioned the tragedy with the Ukrainian plane, in connection with the escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran, I do not want to justify anyone, this is a human mistake. The fact that this was unintentional, in my opinion, everyone has already understood, they are demanding compensation, the Iranian side has recognized and will consider these appeals,” Lavrov said.
“I don’t want to convince anyone that this might not have happened, but the Americans, in an unprecedented operation that calls into question all conceivable norms of international law, destroyed General Soleimani. The Iranians responded, as we later learned, in a measured manner, warning Iraq. There is a lot of information in the media that the Americans were warned and took for granted.
But there is information that at the moment when, after this attack, the Iranians were expecting another US strike, they did not know in what form, but there were at least six F-35s in the air right on the Iranian border. This is information that still needs to be double-checked, but I want to emphasize the nervousness that is always present in such situations,” said acting. O. Head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
