EXPERTS SAY PASSENGER PLANE THAT CRASHED IN TEHRAN WAS LIKELY SHOT DOWN Photos “show obvious projectile holes in the fuselage and a wing section.” Paul Joseph Watson \| Infowars.com - JANUARY 8, 2020 2 Comments Experts say that the Ukrainian passenger plane that crashed in Tehran early this morning was likely shot down. The aircraft plunged out of the sky shortly after take off, killing all 167 passengers and nine crew. The majority of passengers were from Iran and Canada. The timing of the crash, coming just hours after Iran fired missiles towards U.S. bases in Iraq, immediately prompted speculation that the plane had been accidentally shot down. That premise is shared by experts from the OPS group, an aviation risk monitoring organization, who noted that pictures of the plane debris show holes in the plane’s fuselage and wing. “We would recommend the starting assumption to be that this was a shootdown event, similar to MH17 – until there is clear evidence to the contrary,” said the group in a statement, adding that the photos “show obvious projectile holes in the fuselage and a wing section.” This looks like shrapnel damage on the Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752, which went down near Tehran tonight.

As we reported earlier, Iran has refused to hand over black box data which could determine precisely what happened. According to the company, the Boeing 737-800 was was of their best planes in the fleet, was “in excellent condition” and had undergone scheduled maintenance just two days before the crash. All evidence, including video, points to PS752 being shot down by a surface-to-air missile, burning up in mid air and falling to the ground. There's extensive damage on the plane that could've only been caused by shrapnel from a mid-air detonation. pic.twitter.com/TpsfUeM0u8 — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) January 8, 2020 SUBSCRIBE on YouTube: Follow on Twitter: Follow @PrisonPlanet

2008: Hillary Clinton Warned ‘If I Am the President, We Will Attack Iran’ to Defend Israel Jim Watson/AFP/Getty Images CHARLIE SPIERING8 Jan 2020 Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton warned in 2008 that she was prepared to “obliterate” Iran if it produced a nuclear weapon and promised to retaliate if the country launched a nuclear attack on Israel. Clips of Clinton’s rhetoric resurfaced after social media users protested President Donald Trump’s decision to kill Iranian Quds force commander Qasem Soleimani which resulted in retaliatory airstrikes from Iran on Tuesday night. The hashtag #IvotedforHillaryClinton trended on Twitter on Wednesday morning, a trend that Clinton participated in with a taunting gif. #ivotedforHillaryClinton pic.twitter.com/1nIs3QpGus — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) January 8, 2020 But Clinton may have forgotten her own hawkish rhetoric during the 2008 primary. Ahead of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary that April, Hillary Clinton was asked by Good Morning America what she would do if Israel was attacked by Iran. “If Iran were to launch a nuclear attack on Israel, what would our response be?” Clinton said in an interview with then-host Chris Cuomo. “I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran. That’s what we will do. There is no safe haven.” She also warned that if Iran developed a nuclear weapon, the United States had the power to “totally obliterate” the country. “Whatever stage of development they might be in their nuclear weapons program in the next 10 years during which they may foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them,” she said. She admitted that her comment was “terrible” but said it was important to “deter” Iran from attacking Israel. “That’s a terrible thing to say but those people who run Iran need to understand that because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic,” she added. At the time, Sen. Barack Obama criticized Clinton for sounding like a warmonger. “It’s not the language we need right now, and I think it’s language reflective of George Bush,” Obama said in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press afterwards. After he was elected president, Obama pursued a policy of appeasement with Iran after appointing Clinton as Secretary of State. But Clinton left the administration prior to Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, leaving Secretary of State John Kerry to complete the deal.
