Foreign Affairs Minister François-Philippe Champagne, seen here in Ottawa on Nov. 20, 2019, said on Sunday that he expects a full team of consular staff to be in place in Iran by Tuesday.Canadian officials will be on the ground in Tehran this week to help identify remains and co-ordinate with families of people who died on a Ukrainian passenger flight that was shot down by the Iranian military, the federal government says.
Canada’s Transportation Safety Board plans to visit the site of the crash, on the invitation of Iran’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau. In addition to the two investigators departing for Tehran on Monday, the federal agency said it will deploy a second team of investigators who “specialize in aircraft recorder download and analysis” once it confirms when the analysis will take place.
Mr. Trudeau said a “full and complete investigation must be conducted,” and said he emphasized to Mr. Rouhani the necessity of Canada’s participation in the investigation.Farnaz Madani is mourning the death of her sister, Firouzeh Madani, and brother-in-law, Naser Pourshabanoshibi, who were on their way back to North Vancouver after visiting Dr. Pourshabanoshibi’s parents in Iran.Ms.
Iran, after all, does not recognize dual citizenship. “This is a bit of a concern,” Ms. Madani said, adding that she is waiting for Canadian officials to advise her as to her next steps. In the meantime, she is surrounded by loved ones who travelled from around the world to support her as she grieves. “My sister was a wonderful, smart, amazing person,” she said. “Same thing with her husband.”
The plane was shot down several hours after Iran had fired missiles at U.S. and coalition military bases in Iraq in retaliation for the U.S. assassination of Iranian military commander General Qassem Soleimani. The statement was a reversal of earlier assertions from Iranian authorities that denied a missile was the cause and instead blamed mechanical failure.
Now its a PR stunt, and a waste of tax payer money. Iran fully admitted & apologized for it. What else to investigate?
At least Iran is allowing foreigners in their country. Perhaps they are trying to be reasonable and make amends. Should be thankful for this.
Sure, it’s been bulldozered.
