伊朗軍方聲明陳述了誤擊事件的背景及過程，具體要點(diǎn)包括：

1.在烏航客機(jī)墜毀后，伊朗軍方在第一時(shí)間(immediately)組建了調(diào)查團(tuán)隊(duì)，此次聲明為軍方該團(tuán)隊(duì)的調(diào)查結(jié)果。

2.事件發(fā)生時(shí)，由于地區(qū)局勢(shì)緊張，伊朗武裝力量處于最高戒備狀態(tài)(at the utmost level of readiness and alert)。

3.在伊朗向位于伊拉克的美軍基地發(fā)動(dòng)導(dǎo)彈攻擊后數(shù)小時(shí)，美軍空中力量靠近伊朗邊境動(dòng)作增加，伊朗軍方收到諸多關(guān)于美軍可能對(duì)伊進(jìn)行空中打擊的警報(bào)，伊軍雷達(dá)監(jiān)測(cè)到更多目標(biāo)，防空部隊(duì)更為敏感(increased sensitivity in air defenses)。

4.在此情況下，烏航客機(jī)當(dāng)天從德黑蘭霍梅尼國(guó)際機(jī)場(chǎng)起飛后轉(zhuǎn)向時(shí)，接近伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛(wèi)隊(duì)的一處“高度敏感”設(shè)施，被伊防空部隊(duì)誤認(rèn)為敵對(duì)目標(biāo)而擊落。

5.伊朗武裝力量對(duì)于此次人為錯(cuò)誤道歉，并將對(duì)相關(guān)工作進(jìn)行改革，以避免發(fā)生此類事故。

以下為聲明英文版全文：

Following the tragic crash of a Boeing 737 Ukrainian airliner in early Wednesday which happened amid missile strikes against US military base and considering the possibility of a military action in the accident, the Armed Forces Staff immediately formed an inspection team independent of Civil Aviation Organization and the detailed results of the team’s review is as follows:

1. Following threats made by the American president and military commanders on attacking targets on the soil of the Islamic Republic in case of Iran’s response, and due to unprecedented movements in the region’s airspace, Iranian Armed Forces were at the utmost level of readiness and alert.

2. Hours after the missile strike operation [of IRGC against US base], aircraft flights of US terrorist forces increased near Iranian borders and also some news of air threats against the country’s strategic centers were delivered to defense units and some targets were seen on radars which caused increased sensitivity in air defenses.

3. In such sensitive and critical conditions, flight No 752 of Ukraine International Airlines departs from Imam Khomeini Airport and while changing direction, it completely resembles a hostile target approaching a sensitive center of IRGC. In these circumstances, due to human error and unintentionally, the plane was targeted which unfortunately led to the martyrdom of a host of dear compatriots and loss of lives of a number of foreign nationals.

4. Offering condolences to the family of victims and expressing apologies over the human error, Iranian Armed Forces Staff assures the nation that it will make re-occurrence of such incidents impossible through conducting fundamental modifications in operations’ processes of the Armed Forces and that it will hand over the culprit to the military court.

5. It was also announced to related officials in IRGC to take to the IRIB and provide the nation with a detailed explanation.
