Three Britons killed in Iran plane crash identified

Iran insists that the crash of an airliner just minutes after leaving Tehran international airport was nothing to do with its missile strikes against the air bases in Iraq.

All 176 people on board the Ukraine International Airlines plane – including three Britons – died in the crash.

Iranian media says technical problems were to blame, but Ukraine has not ruled out the possibility that the plane was hit by a missile.
