Georgian President Expresses Condolences Over Plane Crash in Iran

The President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili has expressed condolences over the Ukrainian Boeing 737 crash in Iran.

“No words can relate to the crash of the Boeing of Ukrainian International Airlines, an unspeakable disaster. I send my deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims,” she tweeted.

A Ukrainian Airlines Boeing 737 carrying 176 people crashed outside Tehran shortly after taking off, killing all passengers and crew, Iranian media reports.

The Ukrainian Embassy in Tehran has ruled out a terror attack as a possible cause for the plane crash, instead saying in a statement that preliminary information suggests engine failure, CNN has reported.

“According to preliminary information, the plane crashed due to an engine malfunction. The version of the terrorist attack or rocket attack is currently excluded,” the statement on its website reads.
