Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the plane that crashed in Iran on Jan. 8, killing 176 people—including dozens of Canadian nationals—was likely shot down by an Iranian missile.
“We have intelligence from multiple sources, including our allies and our own intelligence. The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile. This may well have been unintentional,” the prime minister told reporters Jan. 9 at a news conference.
