Gobierno de Canadá afirma que avión caído en Teherán fue derribado por un misil iraní
El Primer Ministro, Justin Trudeau, aseguró que su gobierno tiene información de múltiples fuentes que confirma esta teoría. Esto difiere de lo entregado por las autoridades iraníes, que atribuyeron el hecho a una falla mecánica.

El Primer Ministro de Canadá, Justin Trudeau, anunció este jueves que varias fuentes de inteligencia, incluidos los servicios canadienses, sugieren que el Boeing 737 que se estrelló cerca de Teherán el miércoles fue "derribado por un misil tierra-aire iraní".
"Tenemos información de múltiples fuentes, incluidos nuestros aliados y nuestros propios servicios", que "indica que el avión fue derribado por un misil tierra-aire iraní. Puede que no haya sido intencional", dijo en una conferencia de prensa respecto de la tragedia aérea que acabó con la vida de 176 personas, entre ellas 63 canadienses.
El Premier insistió en que estos últimos desarrollos "refuerzan la necesidad de una investigación exhaustiva sobre este asunto". "Como dije ayer, los canadienses tienen preguntas y merecen respuestas", agregó.
Las palabras de Trudeau se dan horas después de que medios estadounidenses revelaran información de la Casa Blanca que señalaba que era muy probable que el avión operado por Ukranian International Airlines fuera derribado por un misil iraní, posiblemente por error.
Del mismo modo, el Presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, señaló que "algunas personas dicen que fue (un fallo mecánico), personalmente no creo que eso sea una cuestión", y agregó: "Tengo mis sospechas. No quiero decirlo. Es algo trágico".
"Alguien pudo haber cometido un error en el otro lado, no (fue) nuestro sistema. No tiene nada que ver con nosotros", remarcó.
Todas estas informaciones difieren completamente del documento presentado este jueves por las autoridades iraníes, que aseguraron que la caída del avión de la aerolínea ucraniana se debió a un "defecto técnico" que provocó un incendio en la aeronave.
En esta línea, el director de la Agencia de Aviación Civil de Irán, Alí Abedzadé, indicó que el piloto de la aeronave no envió ningún mensaje informando de fallas o anomalías en el vuelo y que varios testigos en tierra relataron que el avión sufrió un incendio antes de estrellarse poco después de despegar del aeropuerto internacional Imán Jomeini de Teherán.

Ukrainian airliner was shot down by Iran with Russian-made surface-to-air missiles
The Ukrainian plane that crashed Wednesday was shot down by two Russian-made surface to air missiles (SA-15), according to a US official familiar with the intelligence.
The US saw Iranian radar signals lock onto the jetliner, before it was shot down.
The morning after the incident, US analysts discovered the data but took another day to verify.
Trudeau: "I am willing to talk to anyone to get answers"
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hopes a thorough investigation will produce answers to why the Kiev-bound Ukraine International Airlines jet crashed after takeoff from Tehran on Wednesday.
"I am willing to talk to anyone to get answers," Trudeau said in a televised address from Ottawa.
Of the 176 people killed, 63 were Canadian.
Trudeau won't say if US plays role in plane crash
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau deflected when asked about the United States' role in the Ukrainian airliner crash.
Asked how much responsibility the US bears for the crash given the tension in the region, here's what Trudeau said:
"The evidence suggests that this is the likely cause, but we need to have a full and complete and credible investigation to establish exactly what happened. That is what we are calling for and that is what we're expecting will happen."
"It is too soon to be drawing conclusions," Trudeau later said, adding that there needs to be a thorough investigation first.
Trudeau says Canada has intelligence showing the plane was shot down by Iranian surface-to-air missile
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canadian officials have intelligence from their own sources and Canada's allies that shows Ukrainian International Airlines flight 752 was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile.
"This may have been unintentional," Trudeau said today, adding that international partners should be involved in the investigation.
Trudeau added: "It is extremely important that there be a thorough and credible investigation."
Iranian authorities have indicated that they want to keep the plane's black boxes within the country, Trudeau said.
Watch Trudeau's remarks:
Ukraine asks international partners: "If you have any evidence to assist the investigation, please provide it"
Ukraine has called on its international partners to provide any evidence they might have that would shed light on the crash of the Ukrainian airliner, the Office of the President of Ukraine said in a statement on Thursday.
"Today the President of Ukraine has had telephone conversations with leaders of several countries, including the Prime Ministers of Canada and Sweden, the President of Iran. Our country is interested in finding the truth. Therefore, we turn to Ukraine's international partners: if you have any evidence to assist the investigation, please provide it," the statement said.
Iranian official: We may need outside help reading data on black boxes
Iran’s Civil Aviation Authority head, Ali Abedzadeh, told CNN the country may need outside help to decode the black box on the Ukrainian airliner because it is damaged.
"Generally speaking, Iran has the potential and know-how to decode the black box. Everybody knows that," he said.
However, Abedzadeh said, “the black box of this very Ukrainian Boeing 737 is damaged. Ukrainian Aviation experts arrived here in Tehran today. We had a session with them. From tomorrow they will start decoding the data.”
He added: “If the available equipment is not enough to get the content,” Iran will outsource the boxes to “the experts from France or Canada.”
“Then whatever is the result will be published and publicized to the world," Abedzadeh said.
More on this: CNN’s aviation expert Richard Quest said the important point here is Iran will need the help of very experienced people to download the data if the boxes are damaged.
Quest said it is unlikely the boxes would be opened if damaged. If damaged, they would only be opened under the most exacting circumstances. Quest said data cannot be read until the boxes are opened, the data is downloaded and then analyzed. French or Canadian aviation officials would have the needed experience and equipment to do this.
