Yesterday a court in the Canadian province of Ontario held Iran responsible for the unintentional shooting down of a Ukrainian passenger plane in January 2020.

“The Canadian court ruling as biased, politically motivated and not based on concrete evidence,” KHatibzadeh said.

“It was common knowledge that the Canadian court has no jurisdiction over the plane incident,” he said while adding that “The Canadian court followed in the footsteps of the American courts in their rulings.”
