Iran crash: Ukraine Boeing with 176 onboard comes down near Tehran
A passenger plane carrying 176 people bound for the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, has crashed a few minutes after taking off from Tehran’s main international airport.
Iran’s Red Crescent has said there was no chance of finding survivors, and Pir Hossein Kulivand, an Iranian emergency official, later told state TV all those on board were killed in the crash.

The Boeing 737-800 operated by Ukrainian International Airlines took off from Imam Khomeini international airport at 6.12am Tehran time on Wednesday and went down about 10 minutes later, according to flight tracking websites.
There were no early indications the crash was linked to Wednesday morning’s
missile strikes
on bases in Iraq hosting US and coalition troops.missile strike 导弹袭击
Boeing released a brief statement saying it was aware of the media reports about the disaster and was gathering more information. A video purportedly of the crash circulated by Isna showed the aircraft burning as it fell from the sky.
The 737-800 belongs to the same family as, but is different to, the 737 Max 8 aircraft, which has been grounded since two
fatal crashes
occurred within six months in Indonesia and Ethiopia. The 737-800 operates with a different software system to the one

The Ukraine International Airlines jet was less than four years old. An investigation team was now at the site of the crash on the south-western
outskirts
of Tehran, Jafarzadeh said. “After taking off from Imam Khomeini international airport, it crashed between Parand and Shahriar.”the outskirts 市郊，郊区
A photo later published by Iran’s state-run Irna news agency showed rescue officials in a farm field, with what appeared to be pieces of the aircraft lying nearby.
Boeing, like other airline manufacturers, typically assists in crash investigations. However, that effort in this case could be affected by the US sanctions campaign in place since Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from Tehran’s
nuclear deal
with world powers in May 2018. The US’s largest manufacturing exporter has struggled to regain public trust after its 737 Max plane was involved in the two crashes that killed 346 people.nuclear deal 核协议
The company has faced

, including allegations that it was aware of problems with a new automatic flight control feature on the planes, which investigators believe is likely to have been the cause of the crashes.intense scrutiny 严格审查
Last month, the company fired its chief executive, Dennis Muilenburg, who had been widely criticised by families and regulators for his handling of the crisis. Muilenburg was accused of a lack of sensitivity and respect towards

Several 737-800 aircraft have been involved in deadly accidents. In March 2016, a FlyDubai 737-800 from Dubai crashed while trying to land at Rostov-on-Don airport in Russia, killing 62 onboard. Another 737-800 flight from Dubai, operated by Air India Express, crashed in May 2010 while trying to land in Mangalore, India, killing more than 150 onboard.
