Canadian intelligence services are reviewing a recording of Iran’s top diplomat discussing the possibility that the downing of Ukraine International Airlines flight 752 in January 2020 was intentional, CBC News reported.
CBC sources identified Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif as saying in the recording that there were a number of possibilities for the destruction of the flight, including a deliberate attack involving “infiltrators.”
He categorized that possibility as “not at all unlikely,” and suggested that the truth will never be revealed by the top levels of government, the broadcaster reported.
“There are reasons they’ll never reveal,” he said in Farsi. “They won’t tell us, nor anyone else, because if they do it will open some doors into the defense systems of the country that won’t be in the interest of the nation to publicly say.”
Ralph Goodale, the Canadian prime minister’s special adviser on the incident, confirmed that the government is aware of the recording, which forensic teams received in November.
