Tributes have been paid to British victims who were among the 176 people that died in a plane crash in Iran.

The Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) 737-800 passenger plane crashed minutes into its journey from Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.

Emergency officials told Iran’s state television it was “impossible” that those on board the Boeing 737 – believed to comprise 167 passengers and nine crew members – survived the crash.

Three British victims have been identified as Saeed Tahmasebi, an engineer for Laing O'Rouke, Sam Zokaei, who worked for BP, and Mohammed Reza Kadkhoda-Zadeh, who ran a dry cleaners in West Sussex.

The Pilot was going down into low housing
he managed to steer the Plan into the Field
saving it crashing into the homes.

Well done the Pilot Team.

Real sad
it appears the plane was on Fire.

Not shot down...Russia probably tested it and brought it down before it even got up in the air.

Edit
Probably shot down by mossad!

four passengers from Afghanistan
and three from Germany.
The flight included many international students,
a family of four and newlyweds.
Nine members of crew and at

If Iran accidentally or purposely shot it down then the blame should also be put on the US for starting this pointless conflict.

As what most conflicts/wars are use for, they’re used for money and power, and using innocent civilians as collateral damage

The reason there is so much conflict is because of history which The US are very much part of.

It's not just about what happened the last few weeks but over the course of history why the conflict is happening
