Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is meeting this morning with families of the victims of Wednesday's plane crash in Iran, which killed 176 people, including 138 who were bound for Canada.

The private conversations in Toronto come as there is a looming threat of fresh tensions between Iran and the West.

U.S. officials say they are levelling new sanctions against Tehran for having launched ballistic missile attacks earlier this week against two bases in Iraq housing American soldiers, one of which also contained Canadian forces. Iran, meanwhile, is denying that one of its missiles brought down the Ukraine International Airlines flight that crashed near Tehran.

Iran and Ukraine are calling on the U.S. and Canada to release information backing such allegations as Canadian officials are preparing to participate in the investigation into the crash. Iran this morning released images purportedly showing the plane's two black boxes, which contain recorded data from the jetliner, though it remains unclear whether it will turn the boxes over to outside investigators.-- with files from The Associated Press.

138 passengers aboard plane that crashed in Iran were headed for Canada: TrudeauSixty-three Canadians were among the 176 people killed when a Ukrainian passenger plane crashed near Iran’s capital only minutes after takeoff. Our citizens were shot down by the USA and we need to get all Canadian forces out of the war on Muslims by Donald Trump. You misspelled “shot down.” This definitely merits full investigation. The suspicion is that it could have been hit by a Missile because the plane was in that area. Why the flight was not diverted from the War zone. There is also a suspicion that Americans could have staged this but timing was a coincidence

You mean Trudeau is agreeing with what the Americans are saying?!?!? They didn’t come up with it, he simply waited for America to say it first, then just agree with them.
