Iran’s foreign ministry has denounced as “shameful” an Ontario Superior Court of Justice ruling that found Iran intentionally shot down Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 in an act of terrorism.
The judge issued the judgment Thursday against Iran in a civil lawsuit filed by four families who lost loved ones in the destruction of the plane shortly after takeoff in Tehran on Jan. 8, 2020.
In a statement issued today, ministry spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh said the court’s decision lacked legitimate evidence.
