The Iranian government is paying the relatives of the plane crash with Ukraine
International Airlines flight PS752 compensation of $ 150,000 per family. It
has been almost a year since the Ukrainian Boeing 737-800 was shot down by the
Iranian armed forces.
 
The disaster occurred on January 8 2020, when the passenger plane was mistaken
for an enemy aircraft by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Boeing was
shot down by an anti-aircraft missile shortly after departure. All 176
occupants were killed.
 
Iran initially firmly denied having anything to do with the disaster, claiming
the plane had technical problems. Later the country reluctantly admitted to
being responsible.
