Iranian Ambassador to the UK Hamid Baeidinejad in a message on Saturday expressed his apology and regretted over his wrong statement about Ukrainian plane crash, APA reports citing IRNA.

"In my statement yesterday to the UK media, I conveyed the official findings of responsible authorities in my country that missile could not be fired and hit the Ukrainian plane at that period of time," Baeidinejad tweeted on Saturday.

"I appologise and regret for conveying such wrong findings," he added.

Earlier, Baeidinejad said: "We are very clear and confident about our military and missiles.”

“We should be very careful not to jump to any judgement and let the experts see and in fact verify first the black box which is the most important element to help us to have the full story and the voice recorder,” he noted.
