U.S. officials are now saying Iran shot down a Ukrainian jetliner around the same time as its missile attack on American installations in Iraq. Every single passenger was killed.

U.S. intelligence picked up signals of a radar being turned on shortly before the plane went down, according to CBS News. And U.S. satellites detected two surface-to-air missiles being fired right before the plane exploded.
