Do you think it's a coincidence?
"AN EARTHQUAKE has struck near the Bushehr nuclear power plant on a crucial day for Iran which has seen tensions in the Middle East erupt.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said the earthquake struck 10km southeast of Borazjan in Iran with a magnitude of 4.9. The quake also struck at a depth of 10km."
A passenger plane carrying 176 people bound for the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, has crashed a few minutes after taking off from Tehran’s main international airport.
Iran’s Red Crescent has said there was no chance of finding survivors, and Pir Hossein Kulivand, an Iranian emergency official, later told state TV all those on board were killed in the crash.
Ukraine’s foreign minister, Vadym Prystaiko, said in a statement that those on board the plane included 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Germans and three Britons. “We express our condolences. The Ukrainian authorities continue to investigate,” Prystaiko said.
“The plane crashed five minutes after taking off,” said civil aviation spokesman Reza Jafarzadeh. “The pilot had no contact with the tower and didn’t announce an emergency situation before the crash.”
