Canadian minister of transport says 'we cannot speculate at this point as to the cause' of last night's plane crash in Tehran. 'We lost contact with it, suggesting that something very unusual happened—but we cannot speculate at this point.'
There was no immediate sign the two events were linked and some Iranian officials blamed the crash on a technical fault on the plane. But the cause of the disaster remained unclear, with Ukrainian authorities seeming unsure of the initial Iranian explanations on Wednesday.
Footage aired on Iranian television and released by the Iranian Red Crescent showed the plane's wreckage scattered across a field in small fragments. Iranian officials told state media there was no chance anyone survived. Mansour Darajati, an official at Tehran's governor's office, however, told Iranian state media that the number of Iranians killed in the crash was around 140. It is possible that many of the victims held dual passports.
