Iran has invited US plane-maker Boeing to investigate the disaster involving one of its jets which crashed on Wednesday, according to state news agency IRNA.
It has emerged that the Ukraine International Airlines flight between Tehran and Kyiv may have been hit by an Iranian missile, possibly in error, according to the UK, the US and Canada.
IRNA quotes a Foreign Ministry spokesman as saying Iran “has invited both Ukraine and the Boeing company to participate in the investigations”.
He said it will also welcome experts from other countries’ whose citizens died in the crash.
