Authorities in Ukraine say black box recorders of a Ukrainian International Airlines Boeing 737 jet that crashed after being hit by two surface-to-air missiles show evidence that the Iranian government illegally interfered with the plane.
In a Friday afternoon tweet, Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Yevhenii Yenin said an international team of researchers studying the in-flight recorders in France confirmed that missiles shot from the ground in Iran were responsible for the crash that killed all 178 passengers aboard.
