The Ukrainian flight that crashed in Iran was 'highly likely' shot down by a missile, according to reported US intelligence

Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 is believed to have been hit by fire from a Russian-built Tor M-1 (SA-15) surface-to-air missile system operated by the Iranian military, according to multiple reports.

Pentagon officials told Newsweek that the incident was probably an accident, as anti-aircraft systems were likely active at the time of the suspected shoot down. The Pentagon could not confirm the report for Insider.
