"The missile attack on the Ukraine plane is impossible from the scientific point of view and such rumors are groundless. (...) Dozens of Iranian and foreign planes were flying this moment above the safe space of Iran," said Ali Abedzade, head of the civil aviation organization of Iran.
He said, "many flights pass this space".
In his words, there is a full coordination between the military and civil sectors in Iran.
