Iranian troops sentenced to prison for shooting down Ukrainian airliner.

A court in Tehran has sentenced the unnamed commander of the Tor M1 surface-to-air missile defense system to 13 years in prison for his involvement in the shooting down of Ukrainian Airlines Flight 752 in 2020, which killed all 176 people on board. The court convicted as many as 10 Iranian military personnel for their involvement in the incident, but victims' families have dismissed the sentence as a "sham ruling" and demanded the dispute be considered by the International Court of Justice. The court said the passenger plane was shot down by "human error."
