Iran Acknowledges 'Unintentionally' Shooting Down Ukrainian Jet

After first denying involvement in the Ukrainian Flight 752 crash that killed 176 passengers and crew, Iranian officials took responsibility for the event on Saturday, admitting that the country's Revolutionary Guard "unintentionally" shot down the plane after mistaking it for a hostile cruise missile. In a state TV broadcast, President Hassan Rouhani confirmed earlier suspicions about the cause of the crash, describing it as an "unforgivable mistake." Outlets on both the left and right highlighted Iranian officials' earlier denial of the country's involvement, as well as responses from leaders in Canada and the U.S.
