Airline officials called on Iran to take full responsibility for the crash and said the Iranian authorities should have closed the airport.

KIEV - Ukraine International Airlines said on Saturday that its plane that crashed in Iran this week had received no warning from Tehran airport about a possible threat to its safety before it took off en route for Kiev.

Iran said earlier that its military mistakenly shot down the plane, saying air defences were fired in error while on high alert in the tense aftermath of Iranian missile strikes on U.S. targets in Iraq. All 176 people on board were killed. "If they are shooting from somewhere to somewhere, they were obliged to close the airport. Obliged. And then shoot as much as you want."
