Iranian missile caused Ukraine plane crash, Pompeo says
The Trump administration suspects an Iranian missile caused the deadly crash of a Ukrainian passenger jet, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said at a news conference Friday, confirming earlier intelligence reports.
"What is obvious for us, and what we can say with certainty, is that no missile hit the plane," Ali Abedzadeh, head of Iran’s national aviation department, told a press conference in Tehran."If they are really sure, they should come and show their findings to the world" in accordance with international standards, he added.
The allegation is a worrying one in light of the fact U.S intelligence officials believe Iran may have mistakenly shot down the commercial airliner with a missile, killing 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedish, four Afghan, three German and three British nationals. "This was gonna happen. And American lives were at risk, and we would have been culpably negligent ... had we not recommended to the president that he take this action against Qasem Soleimani," Pompeo said.
