We have intelligence from multiple sources, including our allies and our own intelligence. The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile,” Trudeau told a news conference in Ottawa.
“This may well have been unintentional. This new information reinforces the need for a thorough investigation into this matter,” he continued.
