The United Nations' aviation agency expects a full investigation into the crash of a Ukrainian jetliner in Iran, said Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, on Thursday.

A full investigation will be carried out and Iran will submit a preliminary report to the The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) within a month after the crash, according to Haq.

The Ukrainian passenger plane crashed Tuesday near Tehran, with all 176 people on board confirmed dead.
