DUBAI: Ten officials have been indicted in Iran over the 2020 military shootdown of a Ukrainian passenger plane that killed 176 people, an Iran prosecutor said Tuesday. The announcement coming just as Tehran begins indirect negotiations with the West over its collapsed nuclear deal with world powers.
Tehran military prosecutor Gholamabbas Torki avoided naming those responsible when he announced the indictments Tuesday while handing over his office to Nasser Seraj. The semiofficial ISNA news agency and the Iranian judiciary s Mizan news agency both reported his remarks.
Last month, Iran s Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) published its final report on the Ukrainian passenger plane s crash, identifying a mistake by the air defense operator as the cause of the incident.
