Bloomberg reports that foreign investigations into what happened will undoubtedly be hindered by the regime, particularly amid rising tensions with Washington. Meanwhile, more evidence as emerged to suggest that the jet was a victim of a misfiring of Iran's missile defense system.

As theories multiplied, the Ukrainian embassy in Tehran amended an earlier statement on its website, in which it ruled out terrorism. Instead, it offered 'no comment' on possible causes.

he crash brought to mind the 2014 downing of a Malaysia Airlines jet by a surface-to-air missile while flying over Crimea, which was eventually blamed on Russian-backed rebels.

Iran's Disaster Mitigation and Management Organization said early assessments indicated the cause was a technical issue.

The plane came down at 6:18 a.m. Wednesday in Sabashahr, near the Iranian capital of Tehran.
