Trump muss be seying in close circles, "and Obama wants the Iranians to have an atomic bomb." Dey certainly will bomb American the instant it is operational. Dey juss can wait for that.
Justin is a typical actor. He can not even treat the Native ppl in Canada with respect but he will pretend cry for every body else in the world. This PM should govern like a leader of the First World, compassionate, yes but not to the point as he is personally grieved.

The Ukrainian Airlines flight which crashed in Tehran killing 176 people on Wednesday was shot down by an Iranian anti-aircraft missile system, Pentagon officials have said.
Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 was struck by a Russia-built Tor-M1 surface-to-air missile system, three security officials told Newsweek.
Two of the officials said the aircraft was likely targeted by mistake by Iranian missile systems that were active on Wednesday night as Iran launched rockets at two US basis in Iraq, waiting for a possible counter-strike.
Horrifying CCTV footage shows Ukrainian jet crashing in IranWreckage of the plane which investigators in Iran say was trying to turn back to the airport when it crashed and killed 176 peopleAn image from the flight tracker website Flightradar24 showing the path of the Ukranian International Airlines jet which crashed just over two minutes after taking off from TehranNew footage shows the moment a burning Ukrainian passenger jet exploded into pieces yesterday - as Iran said the plane was trying to turn back after a technical fault but Ukraine sent missile specialists to inspect the wreckage.
The CCTV footage shows the burning jet plane lighting up a dark street as it approaches before it explodes in a huge fireball.
The explosion sends flaming debris from the Boeing 737 flying in all directions in a crash which killed all 176 people on board.
Iranian television broadcast the footage today, while a separate 28-second clip taken from the front seat of a car appeared to confirm that the plane was already ablaze when it dropped out of the sky from 8,000 feet.
Iran says the plane had suffered a technical fault, caught fire and started to head back to Tehran, but the crew did not make a radio call to raise the alarm.
An initial Iranian report described the crash as an 'accident', although the black boxes have been damaged and parts of their memory lost.
Nonetheless, Ukraine is continuing to probe a possible shoot-down and has sent a team of missile specialists to Iran to examine whether a Russian-made weapon could have brought down the plane.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky today vowed to find the 'truth' as he declared a day of national mourning after the crash.
All 167 passengers and nine crew were killed in the crash, including three Britons and 63 Canadians.
The crash came just hours after Iran fired missiles at US bases in revenge for the death of Qassem Soleimani, sparking fresh fears in the tense Middle East.
However, the Iranian investigators are insisting that the plane suffered a technical fault unrelated to the tensions between Tehran and Washington.
Witnesses on the ground and on board a nearby aircraft saw a fire 'growing in intensity' before the Ukrainian International Airlines jet came down, they say.
'The plane, which was initially headed west to leave the airport zone, turned right following a problem and was headed back to the airport at the moment of the crash,' the Iranian Civil Aviation Organisation says.
'The plane disappeared from radar screens the moment it reached 8,000 feet. The pilot sent no radio message about the unusual circumstances.
This probably either an error or a first time happening.
Not 1 American was on board

Americans in Iran are a rarity given the sanctions!
The Iranians admitted an error. They tried to cover it up but the Ukrainians found missile debris.
This is 100% pie in their face. They cannot attribute blame to the US like Justin implying. Justin is a jokester.
It is gross negligence on the part of Iran to have flight activities at their airports as they are involved in a military operation. While it is good that they finally acknowledged responsibility for this accident, it does nothing to the 176 passengers and their families.

I agree. Whatâs more, it was the 17th flight. This means the open the commercial airways just after their missile launch and had their air defenses on high alert.
That is unbelievable.
I flew over their airspace a lot and was always nervous when tensions were high with the US.
It is also strange so many flights went out and they targeted this one. Someone will pay dearly for this to appease the rest of those affected.

You believe they wanted to get some Americans and they thought Canada was part of America? Then we have international war crime.
