U.S. intelligence is confident that Iran painted the Ukrainian airliner with radar and fired two surface-to-air missiles that brought down the aircraft, a U.S. official told ABC News.

"Somebody could have made a mistake on the other side," Trump said."I have a feeling that something very terrible happened, very devastating." "The engine had caught fire. If the reason of the crash was missile, then it would explode in the sky. But the fire was in the plane engine and the pilot's attempt to control the plane was unsuccessful," Qassim Biniaz, a communications chief at the Iranian Ministry of Roads and Transport, told the state news agency IRN shortly after the crash.
The launch of the surface-to-air missiles was detected by American satellites used to monitor missiles launches from a number of adversaries around the globe.
