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 want to see the passenger manifest.
You ain't never gonna see it.
Exactly, anyone with two functioning brain cells to rub together (nanny P excepted) knows what happened here. The cover up begins when the UN investigators arrive.
Obama and members of his regime have probably been during up the phone lines to Iran on this one.
Why are no media outlets complaining about the obvious desecration of human remains?
There is no way that the Iranians were able to collect all the remains of the dead passengers in the first 2 hours before they started using the bulldozer.
For people who claim they had nothing to do with it, their behavior is what you'd expect from individuals whose fingerprints, and bomb residue are all over it.
It’s just a minor detail, but those aren’t bulldozers, they’re wheel loaders!
I also imagine that, if it was a plane malfunction, we would have reports by now of passengers calling loved ones and saying the plan was on fire and crashing.
The lack of any such calls indicates instead that the plane was flying normally, and then had a catastrophic occurrence that killed or disabled the passengers before any of them could get on their phones.
We need a ‘Journalist’s Guide to Heavy Construction Equipment” where everything is called a ‘bulldozer’ like the Journalist’s Guide to Firearms where everything is called a Glock or an AK-47 or a AR-15...........
It did, it was less than 4 years old.

Yep I was thinking along the same lines... every gun is an AR-15 or AK-47!
We know they did. We essentially watched it happen in real-time.
They did the same thing after TWA 800, in 1996.

The flight was climbing normally then all of the sudden data ended.
Those black boxes...
You would think that with technology improving all the time, there would be a back-up of what is on those black boxes at a main location so that there is proof of what happened.
How will the Washington Post, New York Times and MSNBC defend Iran on this issue? (Effing little traitors)
I just checked in to see what the DUmmies had to say and even they are not buying that the US shot it down, but that Iran did.
They rightly (stopped clock thing) pointed out that anyone who wants to clear their name does not scrub the crash site so quickly and thoroughly and that they’d turn over the black box.
What Boring or NTSA engineers, in their right mionds, would go to Iran to review the wreckage of this incident?
