US officials have said that an Iranian missile likely downed a Ukrainian passenger jet just after take-off from Tehran's main international airport on Wednesday morning.
But other experts say if the plane was hit by a missile it remains unclear why, as its flight path and data transmitted to radars would've indicated it was a passenger plane. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also said that intelligence pointed to an accidental missile strike. Exhausted, and braced for retaliation following the launch of Iranian missile attacks on US troops stationed in Iraq earlier that night, they most likely committed a tragic mistake, he argues.
Iran may have suspected the missile sites could be targets for a counter-strike by the US, Michael Elleman, director of the Non-proliferation and Nuclear Policy Program at the International Institute for Strategic Studies,Pieter van Huis, a senior researcher at open-source investigations organisation Bellingcat, told Business Insider that the Iranian missile base the plane flew close to was just outside the city of Malard on the fringes of Tehran.
