YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday said evidence indicated that an Iranian missile downed the Ukrainian jetliner that came down outside Tehran and that the strike "may well have been unintentional".

He declined to get into the specific intelligence but said it appeared the plane was struck by a surface-to-air missile, adding Canadian and allied intelligence supported this.

Earlier, US officials said it was "highly likely" that an Iranian anti-aircraft missile downed the jetliner, killing all 176 people on board.

They suggested it could well have been a mistake.

At least 63 Canadians were on the plane, which crashed just a few hours after Iran launched a ballistic attack against Iraqi military bases housing US troops amid a confrontation with Washington over the killing of its top general, Qassem Soleimani.
