OTTAWA—A “series of reckless acts and omissions” by Iranian authorities resulted in the fatal downing of a passenger jet in January 2020, according to a Canadian government summary of a forensic report.

The official document from the Prime Minister’s Office says Iran showed a “blatant disregard” for air safety by failing to provide any information to airlines about its military activities when it launched a missile strike against a pair of U.S. bases across the border in Iraq hours before the plane was shot down.
