Iran to Canada and allies: If you think we shot down Flight 752, prove it

Iran accused Western governments of "psychological warfare" in claiming the jet came under fire, but intelligence from multiple sources, including Canada's allies, "indicates that the plane was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters in Ottawa on Thursday. "This may well have been unintentional," he added.

Two surface-to-air missile launches were detected by a U.S. spy satellite from an Iranian battery near the airport minutes after the jet took off, followed by an explosion near the plane, said a person familiar with the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
