Tehran asks Canada to share its intel that Iran downed Ukraine jet: official

Iran, alluding to "doubtful scenarios", on Thursday called on Canada to share intelligence Ottawa says suggests the Ukrainian airliner that crashed outside Tehran was mistakenly downed by an Iranian missile.

The Iranian foreign ministry invited the plane's manufacturer Boeing to take part in the official enquiry into the crash, as comments from Wasington and London tallied with the Canadian suggestion of an accidental downing of the plane after Tehran launched ballistic missiles at US military targets in Iraq on Wednesday.
