Speaking on arrival for an emergency European Union foreign ministers meeting in Brussels to discuss crises in Iran and Libya, Heiko Maas echoed the sentiments of several ministers who demanded a full and transparent investigation into Wednesday’s crash that killed all 176 people on board a Ukraine International Airlines flight to Kiev from Tehran.
“This cannot be hidden under the table. If that were to happen then it would breed new mistrust and that is the last thing we need now.” “It is indeed very likely that the plane has been shot down by Iranian missiles,” Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Blok told reporters. Asked whether Iran should be sanctioned, Blok said: “It depends on the Iranian reaction on what should be the next steps.”
