Iran Air Flight 655 (IR655) was a commercial flight operated by Iran Air that flew from Bandar Abbas, Iran to Dubai.
The official ICAO report stated that 10 attempts were made to contact Iran Air flight 655: seven on military frequencies and three on commercial frequencies, addressed to the supposed "unidentified Iranian aircraft" and giving its speed as 350 knots.
It was first claimed that Flight 655 deviated from the centre of its air corridor - an unusual occurrence with commercial flights - namely that it was 3.35 NM off the 20 NM-wide corridor at the time of being shot down.
