In this Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2020 photo, rescue workers search the scene where a Ukrainian plane crashed in Shahedshahr, southwest of the capital Tehran, Iran. Distance, political tensions and the violent nature of an airplane crash — they're all factors that complicate how families will lay to rest the victims of the deadly plane crash in Iran.

The secretary of Ukraine's national security council says seven possible causes are under investigation in the plane crash in Iran earlier this week. Oleksiy Danilov tells a Swedish broadcaster that Ukrainian experts are working at the site near Tehran where the Ukrainian jetliner with 176 people on board crashed.

Sixty-three Canadians died. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other Western leaders say the plane appears to have been hit by a surface-to-air missile near Tehran -- an allegation that Iran denies.

The head of Iran's investigation team into the crash tells state television that Tehran will use expert help from Russia, Ukraine, France and Canada ``if we cannot recover data'' from the plane's recorders.

Canada's Transportation Safety Board says it is making arrangements for investigators to travel to Tehran

The organization said Canada has already made several concessions in recent months in an effort to advance discussions with the United States, but argued that the Trump admin
