The CEO of a Canadian company whose colleague lost his wife and son when Iran shot down a Ukrainian passenger plane last week is blaming President Trump.
Iranian officials have also said the U.S. shares blame for the disaster. Ali Rabiei, a government spokesman, said the killing of Soleimani and fears of further U.S. attacks had put the military on edge, creating the conditions that led to the downing of the Ukraine flight.On Thursday, Democratic Rep. Jackie Speierthat Iran's shootdown of the jetliner was"another example of collateral damage from the actions that have been taken in a provocative way by the president of the United States.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters Saturday that Iran"must take full responsibility" for shooting down the plane. "The reality is there have been significant tensions in that region for a long time," Trudeau said when asked if Soleimani's killing might have played a role in the tragedy."Even in a moment of heightened tensions, this should never have happened."
Defense Secretary Mark Esper differed."To somehow allow Iran to play the victim card with the international community is just ridiculous," Esper said on ABC' News"This Week" on Sunday."These tensions started many years ago – 20 years ago, 40 years ago – and escalated in the past 12 months, led by the terrorist leader, Qasem Soleimani."
