OTTAWA—Canada, Sweden, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom say they have delivered a notice of claim against Iran over its shootdown of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752.

Foreign ministers from those four countries, who lost nationals and residents when the jetliner was shot down shortly after taking off from Tehran in January 2020, say in a statement today that Iran’s “actions and omissions amount to breaches of international law.”
