There was no official explanation given for reasons of the crash, and just one source called it the result of a "technical fault".[5] On the other hand, in a speech following the incident Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini made a reference to Mujahedeen Khalq as the perpetrator without clearly condemning the leftist group.[7]
