The Iranian Foreign Minister, Ali-Akbar Velayati , spoke to airbus and gave the Americans version of the shooting down of an Iranian commercial the Security Council of the United Nations . The plane was then climbing to the prescribed altitude at about 320 knots per hour. He said that all available evidence shows that the disaster could not have been caused by a mistake by the crew of the Vincennes . The huge difference between the configuration of an Airbus and a fighter renders absurd any claim of mistaken identity. He belittled such explanations by the United States , and said that it was evident the warship took an aggressive course and caused the massacre of about 320 innocent people.
