”The airport gave authorization for the plane to take off. They knew the aircraft identification, the route, the speed, the altitude. They knew everything there was to know about this flight,” said Mustafa Alani, Director of Security and Defense Department at the Gulf Research Center.
“This was an unforgivable mistake … If there was a breakdown in communication between air traffic control, air defense and air defense command and control, this is a big crime. A criminal act,” he said.
A US official said data showed the plane airborne for two minutes after departing Tehran when heat signatures of two surface-to-air missiles were detected [av spionsatellit]. There was an explosion in the vicinity and heat data showed the plane on fire as it fell, according to Reuters.”
