Shamkhani's controversial statements: In the Ukrainian plane incident, Mr. Rouhani was aware from the beginning
After the incident occurred, Sardar Bagheri contacted me, and I immediately informed the President. I did not have any duty.
Ali Shamkhani in an interview with Javad Moghui on the program 'The Story of the War':
After the incident occurred, General Bagheri contacted me, and I immediately informed the President. I did not have the duty to report this news to Mr. Zarif.
Some believed that the incident was due to American electronic warfare, which is why there was a three-day delay in officially announcing the results of the investigations.
I went to Behesht-e Zahra for the funeral of one of the victims of the Ukrainian airplane. Their family treated me badly, but I was not upset at all, because it was an extremely great tragedy.
