An Ukrainian Airlines plane carrying 180 passengers and crew crashed tonight just minutes ago after takeoff from Tehran, Iran!
This comes on the same night that Iran fired a dozen missiles at US bases in Iraq.

Here is the FlightRadar24 info on the Ukrainian passenger jet that crashed shortly after takeoff. My question is… why was a plane with 180 passengers taking off from Tehran in the midst of the chaos? And what were the "technical difficulties" that caused it to crash? pic.twitter.com/nsx21HLlhw
