the flight took off from tehran just before dawn yesterday. it was bound for the ukrainian capital of kyiv. i should tell you that in kyiv, almost all the passengers onboard that flight from tehran were booked to a connecting flight to toronto. that is why there were so many canadians onboard. the intelligence that justin trudeau cited in his report today has also been described by various american officials to american reporters. the reporter who had the scoop, from "newsweek" magazine, who along with his colleagues were the first to report that the plane did not crash because of mechanical failures as was quickly asserted by the iranian government. this "newsweek" reporting team was first to report that it was believed to have been an accidental shoot-down by an iranian surface-to-air missile. they cited a u.s. defense department official and an iraqi intelligence official to publish that scoop. that story at "newsweek" was soon picked up all over the country, leading to breaking news special reports by multiple news networks today, includin

so extremely reckless, dangerous move by tehran. think it does deserve robust response from the united states, from president trump and so for president trump has designated in the face of truly barbaric regime in tehran, the regime of the blood of hundreds of american personnel on its hands. >> 603 american troops. >> ieds, and is there a reason why we took them out? when you say robust response, what do you expect, what do you think would be likely? >> well i think that in a response, is going to be a proportionate response to iran's action. i don't think the united states has any results to go to war again. the u.s. will respond strongly if u.s. interests, u.s. personnel are directly attacked. and i think that if there is a u.s. military response, i would expect there would be action taken against the basis from which the ballistic missiles were launched. that is certainly a possibility, certainly come with the administration talked about a targeted list of 52 major iranian targets which could be targeted if the iranians are fool

jeremy diamond, many thanks. >>> let's get the latest from tehran. it appears some effort was made to avoid u.s. casualties. how likely is it that that was a deliberate act on the part of iran? do they have the capability to do that? >> reporter: rosemary, in fact, iranian officers don't want to go into the details of their strike or what they call it harsh. analysts close tried to say that the huge human casualties has been inflicted to american forces. the americans, they say, are hiding the number of casualties and tried to show that, okay, everything is normal. but actually, iranian authorities say that the human casualties has been huge on the side of american forces. rosemary? >> all right. ramin, many thanks to you. joining us live from tehran. >>> another story we are watching closely. the ukrainian embassy in iran is ruling out a terror attack as the cause of a plane crash. all 176 passengers and crew aboard the flight were killed when the boeing 737 went down, minutes after it took off from tehran's international airport early wednesday. em

the body has just returned to tehran. fred, let's talk about the images we're seeing. >> reporter: yeah, wolf. obviously, very powerful images we're seeing. thousands of people who are coming to greet that casket as it arrives here in tehran. it really is, i would say, one of the culmination points of what we've seen ever since the morning hours of saturday. essentially what's been going on is that the body of qassim soleimanni arrived where you already saw large crowds turning up. a holy city in shia islam, the reason the body is only arriving in tehran now, i have to look at my watch here. it's 1:50 in the morning tehran time. the body was supposed to get here hours ago, to then be displayed public ly there in th main grand mosque here. but it wasn't -- they weren't able to bring it here because so many people had already turned up in mashad. that goes to show what an important figure he was for so many iranians. the iranian leadership, of course, is so capable of drumming up crowds to protest similar things. the amount

that flight goes five times a week direct from kyiv to tehran and back. a ukrainian airlines flight. the marriage eastern airline lufthansa regularly flies into that airport. they had a flight under way when these news stories popped about the 176 people killed. that lufthansa flight turned around midair and went back to frankfort rather than land in tehran in these circumstances. passenger travel, passenger air travel in and out of tehran is a normal thing. flights don't get shot down. this flight got shot down because of what was happening between iran and the u.s. military this week. at least that is what it appears. and that is why it says on the front page of "the new york times" right now, quote, the new intelligence suggests that the loss of lives from the downing of a civilian passenger plane was a direct result of heightened tensions between the u.s. and iran. and so, yes, moment in history here, right? big picture here, we are in the middle of the impeachment of the president of the united states for only the third time in u.s. history. in the m

the plane left of the iranian capital, tehran, earlier this morning.ditn for the ukrainian capital, kiev. data published online shows the plane crashed minutes after takeoff. the boeing 737 steadily climbed some 4,500 feet. takeoff initially appeared normal. then the plane suddenly disappeared from radar. that suggests there was some type of catastrophic incident. there was an initial suggestion from a ukrainian official of an engine failure. if the engine fails, the boeing 737 should be able to keep flying. pilots train regularly for that scenario. key will be the cockpit voice recorders. the iranian authorities have them. vertical dictates that they will lead the investigation. it is kind this video shows the plane--it is claimed tths video showplane. if genuine, it seems to be on fire. there is a fsh before the impact. >> if there is an engine failure, it is still capable of climbingap andle of returning to the airfield and if necessary abandoning the approach and climbin away again rod coming back around for a second ah. there should be no reason w

protests in tehran against the government. iran had denied it shot down a ukrainian passenger plane. then, in an extraordinary turnaround, the military finally admitted it had made a disastrous mistake. britain's ambassador to tehran had joined what started as a vigil for the dead in the iranian capital. he left when it turned into a demonstration. but rob macaire was arrested as he stopped at a barbershop for a haircut. he was accused of helping to organise the protests. under the vienna convention, diplomats cannot be detained. here at the foreign office in london, the foreign secretary dominic raab has described the ambassador's arrest as a flagrant violation of international law. he said the iranian government was at a crossroads moment. it could continue the march towards pariah status with all the political and economic isolation that involves, or it could take steps to de—escalate tensions and engage in diplomacy. britain is also demanding the investigation in the crash should be comprehensive, transparent and independe

tehran vowing revenge. what's your perspective?> a lot of analysts i talk to in tehran see this as an act of war. qasem soleimani was the most powerful iranian general. it would be like iran killing the joint chief of staffs and bragging about it. americans would see it as an act of war. and the same goes here. it's not a question of if iran will respond and how and when. and i don't know if the decision has been made as of yet. there's no response yet. and we might not see a response in the next few days. it might take a few weeks or a few months. we don't know what the timeline is going to be. >> reviled in the west, soleimani was revered by many in iran and elsewhere. described in life as a living martyr by none less than the supreme leader himself. we have been, this morning, over the past hour or so, looking at images of a funeral possession, for soleimani and those who were killed in the u.s. attacks. how will he be remembered in iran? and what happens next? >> yes. many iranians have a positive image of kqasem soleimani. in
