Disinfo: Trudeau unusually active regarding the downed flight PS752 because the victim of the crash was a Canadian intelligence officer

Summary

News Front has obtained the passport photo of an alleged Canadian spy killed in the plane crash. This is why a neoliberal Justin Trudeau has immediately blamed Iran for the tragedy. His unnatural activity and appeal for “intelligence material” endorses this version.

Disproof

No proof is given. The photo, allegedly of a Canadian intelligence officer, shows one of the victims of the crash of flight PS752. It was not obtained by News Front. The photo, among others, from the crash site was published in the official web site of the President of Ukraine on January 11th, one day before News Front.

63 Canadians were on board of the downed jet, there is nothing unusual about the Canadian Prime Minister's interest in the case.

Disinfo: The United States might have provoked Iran to open fire against a civilian aircraft

The former commander of the surface-to-air defence section of the Russian Air Force does not exclude that an American reconnaissance UAV, sent to Iran after Tehran’s missile attack on US bases in Iraq, was present close to the Ukrainian passenger aircraft.

A claim, not supported by any documents. Iran has officially admitted the downing a result of a human error and has allowed independent experts access to the crash site.

Disinfo: The United States has developed a method for downing civilian aircraft

The nose part of the [Russian built] “TOR” 9M330 surface-to-air missile was, according to publications on the Internet, laying almost ideally placed under the aircraft, in full working order and ideally coloured. Any civilian aircraft has transponders, connecting them to the air dispatchers and the military simply cannot know what kind of object is approaching. “This is typical for our comrades the Americans. Since 1978 there have been seven cases of downing of aircraft by American actions. One can see an entire method being designed”.

Disproof

A claim, not supported by any documents. Iran has officially admitted the downing a result of a human error and has allowed independent experts access to the crash site. The claim that US systematically is downing civilian aircraft is merely an unfounded conspiracy theory. There certainly have been tragic cases of military action against civilian aircraft, and at some occasions - by US military. A notable example is the Iran Air flight 655, which was downed by a hit by a SM-2MR surface-to-air missile fired from a US naval ship. The United States accepted responsibility for the tragedy at a settlement in the International Court of Justice.
