This is stated in the published statement of the official representative of the Iranian Foreign Ministry Abbas Mousavi.

“A delegation of ten representatives of Canada went to Iran to investigate the deaths of citizens of this country as a result of the crash of the Ukrainian plane,” he said.

Earlier, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that Ottawa has intelligence that indicates that a Boeing 737 in Tehran was shot down by an Iranian missile.

The Iranian Civil Aviation Organization has denied this data.

At the same time, the Iranian Foreign Ministry asked Canada and other states to share their data on the crash of the liner.

Ukraine Airlines International Boeing 737 crashed on January 8 shortly after takeoff from Tehran airport. 176 people were killed.
