Iran to Stop Coordinating With Ukraine After Air Traffic Recordings Leaked

VOA News

   Tehran said Monday that it would stop sharing information with Kyiv
   about the downing of a Ukrainian jetliner last month, after a Ukrainian
   TV channel released leaked recordings from Iranian air traffic control.

   The recordings, which aired on Ukraine's 1+1 Sunday evening, are of a
   conversation between two air traffic controllers speaking in Farsi
   about "the light of a missile" on the plane's route.

   Iran denied for days after the plane crash that the jetliner was
   brought down by one of its missiles.

   Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the recording "proves that
   the Iranian side knew from the start that our plane was hit by a
   missile." Iranian authorities presumably would have had access to these
   records directly following the crash.
