“One Iranian ballistic missile impacted Al Udeid Air Base on June 23 while the remainder of the missiles were intercepted by U.S. and Qatari air defense systems. The impact did minimal damage to equipment and structures on the base."

Western media, "experts" funded by Boeing, and their mentally colonized brown sepoys here are now spreading fake news about pilots(experienced men with over 10,000 hours of experience) manually switching the fuel control switches to off state, before the investigation is even complete.

The truth is FAA had already given an advisory back in 2018 that the locking feature in the switches could disengage, making them vulnerable to vibration, bumps, or minor cockpit movement and this is exactly the same switch model (4TL837-3D) used in this aircraft.

Boeing has a history of blaming crashes on pilots in non-white countries.
