The Boeing 737 from Tehran to Kyiv was hit by two surface-to-air missiles fired by the Revolutionary Guards minutes after take-off, hours after Iran's missile strikes on US forces in Iraq. The authorities first denied any role; on 11 January 2020 they admitted the Guards had shot it down, calling it unintentional. The admission set off a new wave of protests calling for Khamenei's removal.
