Tehran (ISNA) – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Saeed Khatibzadeh rejected claims raised by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), saying that they are wrong and ungrounded.
Responding to a report released by CBC about the Ukrainian passenger plane, Khatibzadeh said, "Everyone knows that Iranian Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif has had formal meetings and contacts with foreign officials including his Canadian counterpart days after the incident. During the talks, the possibility of foreign electronic interference or the presence of mercenary agents has been discussed, and such an idea does not solely belong to the Iranian foreign minister. All Iranian security sources have reviewed all those possibilities and have reached to a conclusion that a deadly human error has caused it and based on that legal procedure is underway".
"Investigations into such incidents are a technical work, so politicization and rumor cannot impose poisonous results on public opinion," he added.
"So, Iran calls on the Canadian government to stop spreading rumors in order to not add pain to the sadness of the families of the victims," Khatibzadeh emphasized.
"We advise Canadian government to act professionally instead of fruitless fuss over Ukrainian aircraft and if it has any opinion, it should declare that within the framework of a technical report," he noted.
Khatibzadeh reiterated that Iran is faithful to its international commitments and has been implementing those commitments step by step.
