Iran has contacted the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, which protects American interests in the Islamic Republic, to warn that the US would be held accountable if anything happened to a Beirut-bound Iranian passenger airplane.<\/p>\n\n

In a statement on Thursday, Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi said Iran\u2019s mission to the United Nations had also conveyed this message to the UN secretary general, Ant\u00f3nio Guterres.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe are investigating the details of this incident and after information is complete we will take necessary legal and political measures,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

Two US fighter jets came close to a Mahan Air passenger plane in Syrian airspace, causing the pilot to quickly change altitude to avoid collision.<\/p>\n\n

A video posted by Iran\u2019s IRIB news agency showed a jet from the window of a plane and blood on the face of a passenger \u2013 reportedly as a result from an injury sustained during the sudden altitude change.<\/p>\n\n

IRIB initially reported a single Israeli jet had come near the plane but later quoted the pilot as saying there were two jets which identified themselves as American.<\/p>\n\n

The pilot of the passenger plane contacted the jet pilots to warn them about keeping a safe distance and the jet pilots identified themselves as American, IRIB reported.<\/p>\n\n

The plane later landed in Beirut, safely evacuating its passengers, some of whom were injured.<\/p>\n\n

It immediately took off and returned to Tehran\u2019s Imam Khomeini without any harassment, media reports say.<\/p>\n\n
