Police and angry protesters square off in front of Amir Kabir University in Tehran.
The missiles were fired 30 seconds apart and help explain a mystery as to why the plane’s transponder was not working – it was disabled by the first strike, before being hit by a second, the Times said. Tehran had for days denied Western claims based on US intelligence that the Boeing 737 had been downed by a missile.
The blurry footage shows the plane on fire and circling back to Tehran’s airport, the Times said. Minutes later, it exploded and crashed.
