CBS now reporting it as well.

U.S. officials are confident Iran shot down a Ukrainian jetliner in the hours after the Iranian missile attack on U.S. targets earlier this week, CBS News has learned. The Ukrainian International Airlines plane crashed Wednesday soon after takeoff from Tehran's airport, killing all 176 people on board.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Zero Americans. A bunch of Canadians, some Ukrainians and a handful of citizens from several European countries.

I really want to know if an Iranian on board was a target.

US needs to sit this one out. No Americans on board. Let Canada or Ukraine handle this shite.


American intelligence trumps all, dumb arse.

What does American intelligence have to do with whether we retaliate or not? We know what happened. That doesn't mean we're gonna go bomb Tehran.

Probably a mistake on an anti aircraft defense system that was engaged due to fear of a US response to the ballistic missile "attack".

Either that or an automatic trigger/detection system failure. Doesn't really matter. A lot of civilians are now dead and Iran looks ridiculous.

That's why Iran won't turnover the black boxes.

USA kills Iran's top general. Iran ends up killing 83 of their own citizens and a host of foreigners in retaliation, none American. Then 32 Iranians died at the funeral for said General. War is weird.

I’m wondering why 65 Canadians were doing on that plane. 65. Why?

If it can’t be used to bludgeon Our Historically First Orange President, it is a non- story.

I said the same thing. I wonder if it was a big group together. Or if it was a Canadian Embassy staff leaving because of potential war.

A big part of this is Iran's official statement completely denying this at first. They said it was definitively a plane malfunction (likely engine fire).

Are they going to backtrack on that and say it was an accident?

I would think they could have just killed him or her on the way to the airport if that was the case.
