Debris at the scene where a Ukrainian plane crashed in Shahedshahr southwest of the capital Tehran, Iran — the crash of a Ukrainian jetliner near Tehran that killed all 176 on board.Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, leader of the Revolutionary Guards aerospace division, was told of the news soon after. "I called the officials and told them this has happened and it's highly possible we hit our own plane," he said in a televised statement.
