I think it likely that the plane was empty (Q-400). I read reports the tower couldn't contact the plane, the people on board seemed to be involved with the nuclear program…airspace was closed to commercial flight at the time, I didn't see any body parts in the video of the flaming wreckage (should have at least a foot or two still in a shoe) we so pics of Soleimani right after….and then they bulldozed the whole wreckage area.
I think Iran was a deep state proxy….like NK. Soleimani (IRGC) was the head, by taking him out and the other 5 that night…cut the head off the snake. They've now removed over 100 IRGC people in Iran loyal to Soleimani. Path is now clear for the people of Iran to take their country back.
