Iran has bulldozed the crash site where a passenger jet came down two days ago, sparking fears of a cover-up after Tehran today denied the West's 'big lie' that Iranian missiles shot down the plane.
The debris of the Boeing 737 has been removed from the crash site near Tehran before Ukrainian investigators have even arrived - leaving the site at the mercy of scavengers.
Iran says it is 'opening' the plane's black boxes today but has indicated it will not allow the US government to analyse their contents.
Washington and its allies believe that the plane was shot down by two Iranian surface-to-air missiles which were launched just minutes after the airliner took off.
Footage which emerged last night showed the Ukraine International Airlines jet exploding in mid-air after it was hit, killing all 176 people on board.
It is feared that Iranian forces may have mistaken the passenger plane for a military jet, hours after Iran launched missile strikes on US bases in Iraq.
Justin Trudeau, Donald Trump and Boris Johnson have all pointed the finger at Iran as a chorus of Western countries rejected Iran's explanation of a technical failure and NATO also backed the shoot-down theory today.
Iran accused the US of waging 'psychological warfare' and inventing a 'big lie' as it denied the claims today.
The crisis forced Western planes heading to Tehran to turn around in mid-air last night, with many airlines now avoiding Iranian airspace.
America's Federal Aviation Administration had banned US airlines from flying over Iran just hours before the crash, potentially saving American lives from a misdirected shoot-down.

I don’t like to jump to conclusions but let’s face it this shouldn’t even be talked about as a question. They obviously are covering it up.
What does that tell us about any future deals with that government?
All on show for the world to see the depravity of the Iranian regime.
Looks like their deep state has learned from our deep state.
It’s too late for a coverup as so much evidence has been gathered and distributed.
Who do they think they are? The Clinton-Reno Justice Dept handling Waco???
Their actions all indicate that they did shoot down this plane.
I wonder if that plane didn’t have the real-time satellite engine and aircraft health reporting. Boeing would already have what’s in the black box anyway.
Indeed. Our Deep State did the same thing after Sandy Hook.
And all the news I hear says it was completely an accident.
Yeah, sure.
Iran and Hillary didn’t intend to break laws...
and Oklahoma City ... and Waco ...
It’s a bit of a stretch....did the mullahs have Epstein whacked? I thought Epstein didn’t kill himself. Even the second time. /s
This is nothing new and a common question — how can you deal with a group of people who don’t value their own lives and the lives of their people and strapping on an explosives vest and detonating it in a crowd will assure them a place in heaven.
The desire for self preservation is what motivates most sane people and will result in compromise and treaties and peace. It worked with the Soviets — RE: MAAD. I doubt that it would work with a group of religious fanatics who would chose death and heaven over life and compromise.
Iranian: We opened and examined the black box. Determined nothing to see here. Just move on. At this point does it make any difference?
Followed by: “How’d I do, Hillary?”
No, it's finished.
Once someone is made aware of how many planes take off every single day, and how many crash, it’s impossible to convince them that this plane just “had an accident”. If it was accidental, it’s because someone accidentally shot it down.
They know the MSM will help them divert attention from themselves back on to Trump-hate and America-hate.
They know this story won't last more than a few news cycles.
Well, you know... I’m waiting for the Ayatollah to say that the suggestion that the plane was shot down is a story that is just as real as the Holocaust and the Armenian Genocide...”
