Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that evidence points to the plane that “crashed” in Iran was actually *gasp* shot down by Iranian missiles.
According to the BBC, Trudeau said he had received intelligence from multiple sources indicating that the plane was shot down by an Iranian surface-to air missile, adding that it was possible that this was unintentional.
“This reinforces the need for a thorough investigation,” he said. “Canadians have questions and they deserve answers.”
Video has surfaced of the moment the plane was hit by the missile, as a burst of flames is easily visible in the night sky:
“I have my suspicions,” President Trump had said of the attack. “It’s a tragic thing when I see that, it’s a tragic thing. But somebody could have made a mistake on the other side.”
Iran denies shooting down the plane.
“The plane, which was initially headed west to leave the airport zone, turned right following a problem and was headed back to the airport at the moment of the crash,” said Iran’s Civil Aviation Organisation (CAOI) chief Ali Abedzadeh
He added that witnesses saw the plane “on fire” before the crash, and that pilots had not made any distress calls.
“Scientifically, it is impossible that a missile hit the Ukrainian plane, and such rumours are illogical,” he said.
“Several domestic and foreign flights were flying in Iranian space at the same altitude of 8,000ft (2,400m). The issue of the missile’s impact on the aircraft cannot be true in any way,” he said.
The New York Times has since verified the video of the plane being shot down, which makes Iran a bunch of dirty stinkin’ liars…
Ukrainian officials released the nationalities of the deceased:
Among the victims were 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians including all nine crew, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Britons and three Germans, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said. Fifteen of the dead were children.

Video shows Iran shot down a plane. Iran says they didn’t shoot down a plane, doubling down by saying it’s “scientifically impossible”. I wonder who is telling the truth…
