The head of the Iranian investigation team acknowledged the audio recording was legitimate

Rescue teams are seen at the site of the Ukrainian plane crash in Tehran on Jan. 8. The downing of the aircraft resulted in the deaths of all 176 people on board, including 57 Canadian citizens.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy acknowledged the recording’s authenticity in a report aired by a Ukrainian television channel on Sunday night. After the Jan. 8 disaster, Iran’s civilian government maintained for days that it didn’t know the country’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, answerable only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had shot down the aircraft. The downing of the jetliner came just hours after the Guard launched a ballistic missile attack on Iraqi bases housing U.S. forces in retaliation for an earlier American drone strike that killed the Guard’s top general, Qassem Soleimani, in Baghdad.
