US says Iran accidentally shot down a Ukranian plane, but Iran says no

U.S officials say they’re confident that an Iranian missile accidentally brought down a Ukranian plane. Iran has said that conclusion is not true, even though The New York Times has posted a video that appears to show a missile hitting the jet. The plane crashed just hours after the Iranian missile attack on U.S military bases earlier this week. All 176 people onboard were killed.
