The Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif said in a tweet earlier that the cause of the tragic plane crash that happened on the same day, although some hours later, as the Iranian missile strikes that targeted two American bases, the largest U.S. Military base in Iraq Ain al-Assad and a second U.S. base in Erbil, in retaliation for the murder of General Soleimani, was caused by “human error”:

“A sad day. Preliminary conclusions of internal investigation by Armed Forces:
Human error at time of crisis caused by US adventurism led to disaster
Our profound regrets, apologies and condolences to our people, to the families of all victims, and to other affected nations.”
I find this “human error” explanation to be rather strange when one takes into account the information presented in the UK Column News broadcast of Friday the 10th:
Mike Robinson: “the question is where does this narrative of a surface to air missile come from?...the main source it seems was the New York Times...as you read this (New York Times) article it comes across as being very Bellingcat like, and then you look at who the authors of this are and of course the lead 'journalist' is Christian Triebert who was Bellingcat...you don't have to go too far to discover that in fact Bellingcat was one of the organizations that has laundered this particular video clip (clip used by MSM that allegedly shows plane being hit by missile)...where did they get it from? Well it came from this guy (Nariman Gharib)...who is this guy?...this is what AP (Associated Press) had to say about him”:
AP article: the AP drew on data by the London-based cybersecurity group Certfa to track how a hacking group often nicknamed Charming Kitten spent the last few month trying to break into the private emails of more than a dozen U.S. Treasury officials...
Mike Robinson: “now remember this is an AP report from December 2018, they go on to say”:
AP article: “The targets are very specific,” Certfa researcher Nariman Gharib said.
Mike Robinson: “So now we have in fact not only New York Times and Bellingcat involved in laundering this video but somebody who at some point in the past, within the last twelve months or the last twenty four months anyway has been associated with a London-based cybersecurity group, so now we've got London involved in this in some way...we've got to remember that everybody, Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of Canada, everybody is using this as their source for the claim that this was a missile shoot down, now it could well have been Patrick, it could have been a mistake but i'm raising a flag here over the way that this video has been generated, I mean for example, here we are at 6:15am in the morning and somebody just happened to have a mobile phone pointing in the direction of a flight which was apparently hit by a missile, is this really credible, that somebody just happens to have their mobile recording video, pointing in the right direction at exactly the right time?”
Patrick Henningsen: “Standing in a nondescript warehouse two miles from the airport in the dark and they just happen to be filming the night sky...then this is magically picked up by this internet researcher, UK based internet researcher”
Mike Robinson: “No he is Iranian but as we've shown he's been working for a UK based cybersecurity company”
Patrick Henningsen: “So London based...a very interesting profile Mike of the person that supplied this video, and of course handed off to Bellingcat and the New York Times former Bellingcat employee...and members of Forensic Architecture like Malachy Browne...that tried to prove that the Assad “regime” dropped chlorine canisters in Douma, what they tried to prove was disproven by the OPCW leaks, so again we see the same team Mike, trying to attribute blame to enemies of the United States, again”
So, when one takes into account the information provided by the UK Column, whatever happened to the plane, whether that be a missile or not, something very sinister appears to be going on beneath the surface, and I hope the Iranians look further into it rather than just calling it “human error” and leaving it at that.
If there is one thing we can be sure of in this event, it's that we are not going to get truth, facts or evidence from Western war criminal governments or the Western MSM propagandists.
