It was an accident. It's good that they've finally admitted it. The next step for Iran is to compensate the families with blood money and funeral costs.

I'm not sure what Canada can do. We have no diplomatic relations with Iran and the people on the plane are all dead. All Trudeau can do is support the families left behind in both Canada and Iran. A lot of the people killed were on the path to citizenship and were going to bring their parents here. It would be nice if something was done for them but I can't think of anything that wouldn't compromise the immigration system.

Most of the people died on the plane were actually Iranians, 82 to be exact. That's half of the passengers onboard.

Iran have been taking massive losses nowadays:

• Qassem Soleimani; Most influential Irani general, assassinated.
• Stampede kills 52 civilians at the general's funeral.
• Iran hit US base in Iraq seeking vengeance but it turned out to be a huge failure.
• Iran mistakingly shot down Ukrainian flight carrying 82 of its citizens.

The Iranian regime was in turmoil for a whole week.

The Iranian military now look like a bunch of unprofessional rag tag army....why even attack if you can't cause any damage.. They even look more weaker than before their little failed missile attack

The attack on the American base was a symbolic retaliation, where the damage dealt was minimal, not to force America's hand and escalate things out of control.

Iran has admitted "unintentionally" shooting down a Ukrainian passenger jet, killing all 176 people on board.

An investigation found that "missiles fired due to human error", President Hassan Rouhani said. He described the crash as an "unforgivable mistake".

The military said the jet turned towards a sensitive site belonging to Iran's Revolutionary Guards and was then mistaken for a cruise missile.

Iran had previously rejected suggestions that it was to blame.

The downing of Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 on Wednesday came just hours after Iran carried out missile strikes on two airbases housing US forces in Iraq.

The strikes were a response to the killing of senior Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike in Baghdad on 3 January.

Iran initially denied reports that one of its missiles had brought down the Ukrainian plane near the capital, Tehran. But pressure quickly mounted after Western intelligence officials said evidence pointed to Iranian involvement.

The plane came down shortly after taking off from Tehran
The Ukrainian flight, which was en route to Kyiv, came down near Imam Khomeini Airport shortly after take-off. Victims included dozens of Iranians and Canadians, as well as nationals from Ukraine, the UK, Afghanistan and Germany.

What explanation did Iran give?
On Saturday morning, an Iranian military statement read on state TV announced that it had struck flight PS752 with a missile by mistake.

It said the plane had turned towards a "sensitive military centre" of the Revolutionary Guards, a force set up to defend the country's Islamic system. The statement said it had the "flying posture and altitude of an enemy target".

Because of heightened tensions with the US, Iran's military "was at its highest level of readiness", the statement added. "In such a condition, because of human error and in an unintentional way, the flight was hit."

Iran had previously denied it was a missile strike that downed the Ukrainian jet
The military apologised for downing the plane, saying it would upgrade its systems to prevent such "mistakes" in the future. It added that those responsible would be held accountable and prosecuted.

Ukraine International Airlines denies that the plane veered from its expected course before the crash. It says officials should have closed the airport.

Brig-Gen Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the Revolutionary Guards aerospace commander, said the force took "full responsibility" for the crash.

He said a request had been made for a no-fly zone in the area before the incident but - for reasons that are unclear - this was rejected.

Gen Hajizadeh also said the aircraft was shot down by a short-range missile that exploded next to it. He said he informed the authorities about what had happened on Wednesday, days before Iran publicly admitted its involvement.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ordered the military to investigate "the possible shortcomings or mistakes" that led to the crash.

In a statement, he said there was "proof of human error" and confirmed that he had "requested the relevant authorities to take necessary measures to prevent" it happening again.



Foreign Minister Javad Zarif apologised to the families of the victims but laid part of the blame on the US. "Human error at a time of crisis caused by US adventurism led to [this] disaster," he said.

And Iran's ambassador to the UK, Hamid Baeidinejad, apologised for sharing "wrong findings" about the crash. He had said Iran was "confident" that a missile had not been launched.

"I conveyed the official findings... that [a] missile could not be fired and hit the Ukrainian plane at that period of time," he said. "I apologise."

I dont understand how they mistook this plane for a warplane. I thought radar tech can tell the difference?

They got russia on their side and they definitely can hit Canada

Weird from them. I think it was done on purpose or to show to the world that it is possible.
