Trudeau : Intelligence indicates Flight PS752 was shot down by Iran

[bullwinkle428]

TORONTO -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada has intelligence that indicates that the plane that crashed in Iran Wednesday morning, killing all 176 people aboard, was shot down by an Iranian missile – possibly by accident.

“We have intelligence from multiple sources, including our allies and our own intelligence. The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile. This may well have been unintentional,” the prime minister said Thursday afternoon at a news conference.

Ukraine Airlines flight PS752 crashed near Tehran shortly after taking off. Sixty-three of its passengers had Canadian passports, and many others were living in Canada as permanent residents or on visas.

1. What a disaster this all is! And it's all Trump's fault.

9. I'd say Soleimani bares some of the blame also...

......if Soleimani hadn't spent most of his time causing mayhem in other countries and been the Iranian most responsible for years of attacks on Americans troops and caused the deaths of hundreds of American troops this would not have happened either. So 50/50 Trump Soleimani I'd say.

13. He's dead.

[EX500rider]

17. Yes and there are reasons why he is dead.

He can be dead and still bear the blame for his actions.

2. Does seem there should have been more caution flying in and out of that area.

3. Unintended consequences of escalation.

😢

8. Yes, and there are those who just don't care. n/t

4. At least Justin Trudeau believes

the information he is receiving from Canadian intelligence agencies...unlike some people we know.

5. Hannity falsely claimed US bombers were on their way to Iran shortly before it was shot down

7. So he has actual blood on his hands, too.

[DesertRat]

10. In my opinion, yes he does

He was gloating about how "Mullahs better hide in their bunkers" and "refinery workers might want to change jobs." He checked his watch and said, "now."

[marble falls]

12. I was ageeing. These Trump cheerleaders are all responsible.

[DesertRat]

14. 100% right

And it's doubtful that Hannity pulled this info out of thin air. It most likely came directly from DT.

[sarisataka]

11. Yes he did, but

Are we going to stretch that to believe Iranian AA operators in the field were watch Hannity, translated into Persian, and thought an American B-52 was lifting off from Tehran?

Far more likely is some junior trooper was exhausted after having been up all night on alert. Suddenly he sees a target appear while the vehicle commander is off taking a piss. He can fire right away or wait, but waiting means a plane may attack the capital of his country so he hits the fire button.

Fifteen seconds later the IFF operator says the target's transponder says it is a civilian plane. Before they can say گه the missile hits.

[DesertRat]

15. Good point, and we'll likely never know the whole truth

But in any event, Hannity's nightly rhetoric is reckless and irresponsible.

[Kingofalldems]

16. He has no conscience it seems.

6. Russian surface to air missiles fired by Iran shoot down Ukraine airliner

What a mess

[moondust]

18. One doubter.

Chris Cuomo had the author of this book on last night. Soucie said none of the wreckage photos he has examined indicates it was shot down.

[Baclava]

19. The latest video sure looks like a missile hit n/t
