PM speaks out about Iran air crash
There is a "body of information" to suggest an Iranian surface-to-air missile brought down a Ukrainian passenger plane that crashed near Tehran, PM Boris Johnson has said.
Four Britons were among the 176 people who died in the crash shortly after take-off on Wednesday, the PM added.
Mr Johnson said information suggests the plane was shot down but "this may well have been unintentional".
Iran dismissed the suggestions that it was to blame as "US propaganda".
Tehran has ruled out a missile strike by its air defences.
The crash came just hours after Iran carried out missile strikes on two airbases housing US forces in Iraq.
The air strikes were in retaliation for the US killing of top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani.
On Friday morning the Foreign Office hardened its travel advice for Iran for the second time in a week.
