Surveillance video circulating on social media appears to show for the first time two Iranian missiles slamming into a Ukrainian jet, killing 176.

Surveillance video circulating on social media appears to show for the first time two missiles slamming into a Ukrainian passenger jet, killing all 176 people aboard just minutes after takeoff from Tehran a week ago.

The blurry video appears to show a missile launching from a site near Imam Khomeini International Airport and apparently hitting the plane, moments before the second one hits. The plane appears to be in flames as it circles back to the airport. It crashed minutes later, just missing a village near the airport.

U.S. officials have identified the weapon as the Gauntlet, a Russian-made SA-15 surface-to-air missile system. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani have promised a thorough investigation. Most of the passengers were Iranian and Canadian, and representatives of those two countries met with Ukrainian authorities Tuesday to begin sharing information on the crash.Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have heightened since President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of an international agreement designed to curb Iran's nuclear intentions.
