Iran ADMITS shooting down Ukrainian jetliner because they thought the plane was an 'enemy target'
Iranian state TV, citing a military statement, says the country 'unintentionally' shot down a Ukrainian jetliner, killing all 176 aboard. Iran had denied for several days that two missiles downed the aircraft. But then the U.S. and Canada, citing intelligence, said they believe Iran shot down the aircraft. Iran has since blamed 'human error' for shooting down the plane on Tuesday.
