Iranian Missile Accidentally Brought Down Ukrainian Jet, Officials Say – The New York Times

By Thomas A. Smith

WASHINGTON American and allied officials said on Thursday that they had intelligence that missiles fired by Iranian military forces were responsible for the downing of a Ukrainian jetliner and the deaths of all aboard this week in Iran, most likely by accident.

The disclosures suggested that the deaths were a consequence of the heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran that have played out since an American drone strike killed a top Iranian general last week.
