Iran Shoots Plane – level 1

17-01-2020 07:00

Last week, a Ukrainian plane crashes in Iran. The Iranian government admits that it accidentally strikes the plane.

The Iranian government says that people are worried. It says that the US government recently makes them worried. It says that people think the plane is a missile or a rocket.

People protest in Iran. They want the country’s supreme leader to stop working. They want the government to find the people who shoot the plane. They want these people to be in trouble.

The Ukrainian president says that the Iranian government talks to him. The government apologizes to Ukraine. It apologizes to the families of the dead.

Difficult words: admit (to say that you know you do something good or bad), strike (to hit, to shoot), supreme leader (a religious leader who works in the government).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
