The Canadian government and security agencies are reviewing an audio recording in which a man identified by sources as Iran s foreign minister discusses the possibility that the downing of the Ukrainian passenger plane in January 2020 was an intentional act, CBC News reported.
“The individual, identified by sources as Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif, is heard saying on the recording that there are a ‘thousand possibilities’ to explain the downing of the jet, including a deliberate attack involving two or three ‘infiltrators’ a scenario he said was ‘not at all unlikely’,” said the report.

GM to produce EV600 electric delivery Vans in Canada
Work on the factory that currently manufactures Chevrolet Equinox SUVs will commence immediately and could take two years. However, union workers are yet to ratify the deal for the commencement of large-scale manufacturing of the EV600, electric delivery vans.
The Detroit-based company is manufacturing the EV600 vans as part of its new venture BrightDrop that is manufacturing vehicles for delivery companies. With online shopping growing the demand for electric delivery vans for delivery companies have also increased as companies seek cleaner ways to deliver packages. FedEx will be BrightDrop’s first customer and the company will start receiving EV600 vans towards the end of this year.
