The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Jan. 8, 2020 shot down Ukrainian flight PS752 just over the Tehran airport, killing all 176 on board. 138 had ties to Canada, including 55 citizens and 30 permanent residents.

A report just released by the Association of Families of the Victims concluded that the shooting was intentional. This conclusion raises the question why the IRGC would deliberately shoot down a passenger plane.
