Iran plane crash: Khamenei, the armed forces defends, in rare address

Oct 15,2023 11:21 am

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei , the Bundeswehr has to defend as well, there was The Shooting down of a passenger plane by mistake.

He said that The Revolutionary Guard - The Elite unit responsible for the disaster - "maintain the security" of Iran.

Widespread protests and criticism from abroad have set, the pressure grows on Iran over its handling of The Incident .

But the ayatollah is trying to mobilize support so he led the Friday prayers in Tehran for the First Time since 2012.

Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737-800 was traveling to Kiev to Tehran on 8. January, when it crashed shortly after take-off. All the 176 passengers on Board, including nationals from Iran, Canada, Sweden and the United Kingdom, were killed.

The ayatollah called for "national unity" and said Iran's "Enemies " - a reference to Washington and its Allies - had used the Downing of the plane to overshadow The Killing of high-ranking Iranian general Qasem Soleimani , in a U.S. drone strike.

"Our Enemies were so happy about the plane crash, when we were sad," he said.

"[they were] happy that they had found to make something out of the question, The Guard and The Armed forces. "

The Iranian authorities initially denied responsibility, but after international pressure mounted, The Revolutionary guards admitted that the plane was mistaken for a "cruise missile" in the heightened state of tension with the United States .

hours before it was shot down, and in response to The Killing of Soleimani, Iranian missiles targeted two air force bases in Iraq, the U.S. armed forces are housed.

Washington initially said no U.S. troops were injured, but later reported that 11 people had to be treated for a concussion, after they showed symptoms, the attacks Days after the rocket.

What to say to the ayatollah for this?

Ayatollah Khamenei, 80, addressed The Nation in front of the Mosalla mosque in the capital. The Last time he was in 2012, the 33-year-old anniversary of the country's Islamic Revolution.

Leading Friday in the capital, important action is prayer, a symbol usually reserved for times when Iran would get the highest authority, to deliver an important message, says Mehdi Khalaji of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

have Historically, leaving Iranian leader, adds to this task is faithful cleric with strong rhetorical skills, he.

to defend This sermon was an effort by Iran's Supreme leader -who has come under heavy criticism in The Last Days of his rule.

to drive, He gave a part of his speech in Arabic, calling on the Arab and Islamic world, the US from the region. "The greatest punishment for the United States is his expulsion," he said.

But was his immediate objective, to support his government, after the Ukrainian passenger plane was shot down. The episode Ayatollah Khamenei has weakened the position of the home. There were protests all over the country, with the protesters shouting slogans and calling on him to resign.

Today, the ayatollah accused the protesters of the influence of foreign-based media. He also praised The Revolutionary guards for the security of the country.

But, ultimately, he seemed to have little to say new. As a result, he is unlikely to have won much support for the policy he has pursued.

Many in Iran had hoped that the ayatollah would change course and admit the mistakes of the past. That was far from the case.
