The shootdown happened at Tehran’s main airport the same night Iran launched a ballistic-missile attack targeting U.S. soldiers in Iraq, its response to the American drone strike that killed Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad on Jan. 3. Those manning the missile battery also could not communicate with their command centre, the report said. They also misidentified the civilian flight as a threat and opened fire twice without getting approval from ranking officials.Western intelligence officials and analysts believe Iran shot down the aircraft with a Russian-made Tor system, known to NATO as the SA-15. The system is mounted on a tracked vehicle and carries a radar and a pack of eight missiles.
Esmaeilion, one of the founders of a group demanding justice for the victims of PS752, said one question that stood out to him after reading the report was why that particular flight was targeted and not several others that had taken off a short time earlier.

Islamic Republic. Hmmmm
The 'mistake' was that it was not the aircraft they thought it was ... the aircraft was intentionally shot down with 2 missiles, guided by radar, that knew it was a civilian aircraft by it's transponder code.

Canadas response:
There is no transparency in the fabric of the Iranian regime, lies, lies and 41 years of lies. They intentionally shot down the passenger plane, now is covering up time. I hope Canada will not fall into such blatant lies. This is an insult to every intelligence.
