Who are they fooling?

Iranian leadership will breed discord within itself if those responsible for the accident are made 'accountable' for this error. They did what was expected of them by the State. If not, Iran would not have waited forever to acknowledge responsible for this painful calamity.

Going round to arrest those who fired the missile will simply make the military extremely cautious next time which could be fatal assuming its a drone or even a stealth bomber.

The right thing would be a high up to step down. Better, the Mullahs stepdown and end this 40 year old fascist government disguised in cleric robes.

Things happening now in Iran all bcs of Trump. Never give an enemy breathing space.
Had it been Trump gave them breathing space, Iran would hv turned to another thing. And if not American stand on their action, another terrorist organization would hv emerged from Iran.
If u look at the tone of their voice (Iran) now, u will notice that they are ready to melo down

Who downed the airplane? Was it the suspects? Wasn't it the government in charge of the missiles and ordered the strike? Why can't they take the blame?

Iran's judiciary has announced the arrests of an unspecified number of suspects in the accidental downing of a commercial passenger jet during a major confrontation with the United States last week.

In comments carried by state media, spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili said on Tuesday that "extensive investigations have taken place and some individuals are arrested". He did not offer additional details.

Wednesday's downing of the Ukrainian airliner, en route to Kyiv from Tehran, killed all 176 passengers and crew on board. It happened just hours after Iran launched missile attacks on US targets in Iraq in retaliation for the US assassination of top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad on January 3.

After days of denials, Iran on Saturday admitted that its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had shot down the plane in a "disastrous mistake", saying air defences were fired in error while on alert after the attacks against two Iraqi bases hosting US troops. US President Donald Trump had previously threatened to strike 52 targets within Iran if Tehran targeted US citizens or assets following Soleimani's killing.

Iran's acknowledgement of the shootdown and the lack of transparency around it triggered protests in Tehran and elsewhere, with hundreds of people taking to the streets to direct their ire towards senior officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, amid allegations of being misled.

Videos posted on social media that could not be verified immediately appeared to show security forces firing live ammunition and tear gas to disperse protesters. The government has denied a cover-up and police rejected reports that it had opened fire at demonstrators.

Rouhani calls for special court
In a televised address on Tuesday, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani promised a thorough investigation into the "unforgivable error" of shooting down the plane, the latest in a series of apologies from a leadership grappling with public anger.

Rouhani called for a special court to be set up with a ranking judge and dozens of experts to investigate the "tragic event".

"This is not an ordinary case. The entire world will be watching this court," Rouhani said, adding that everyone responsible in the accident must be punished.

"For our people, it is very important in this incident that whoever was at fault or negligent at any level" faces justice, Rouhani said. "Anyone who should be punished must be punished."

The president called the government's admission that Iranian forces shot down the plane the "first good step".

"We should assure people that it will not happen again," Rouhani said, adding that his government was "accountable to Iranian and other nations who lost lives in the plane crash".

Al Jazeera's Assed Baig, reporting from Tehran, said Rouhani's comments were "a watershed moment in this country because people aren't used to the military and state institutions taking state responsibility and accepting that they are wrong".

Baig added that Rouhani mentioned that the downing of the plane was not the fault of just one person operating the air defence system - rather, there were many issues involved.

"He also said that ultimately it's the US that's responsible for the heightened level of tension, again referring to Trump's threat to target 52 sites but added that this isn't an excuse for the military and other people," Baig said.

Most of those on board the flight were Iranians or dual nationals. Canada, Ukraine, Britain and other nations who had citizens on the plane have scheduled a meeting on Thursday in London to consider legal action against Tehran.

This act of shooting down a civilian airbus enroute to Ukraine from Iran is barbaric.

It is one of the greatest man inhumanity against fellow human.

United States their arch rival have not launch a direct attack on Tehran or Iran except their late general that was killed by US drone attack.

The military personnel went for the missile launch with which they launch missile to down a civil airline.

If Iran can commit this crime. The world can only wonder what will happen when they eventually get hold of a nuclear bomb.

That means Iran will use their nuclear bomb to end the human race. This is just a little test case for Iran and they failed the test with gross irresponsibility.

The United States is having a sound justification for standing on the way of Iran acquiring nuclear bomb.

THE NUCLEAR BOMB THROWN BY THE AMERICAN ON TWO JAPANESE CITIES OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI TO END THE 2ND WORLD WAR WILL BE A CHILD PLAY going by the Iranian rascality with missile.

I hold the Iranian hardline government responsible for this tragedy even though the military and government in Iran claimed it was unintentional.

There should be a leadership change in Iran to correct the country from its religious and fundamentalism system of government.

It is setting Iran backward.

Iran is too provoking the global security system.

The United States was not ready to bomb Iran.

Why were they so much in a hurry to switch on their missile defense system that they acquire from russia.

That should be the last thing they should have done. And it should be done when they were directly attacked in their soil in Iran and they should also understand the safety rules to prevent attacking non military target most especially.

WE ALL SHOULD PRAY FOR WORLD PEACE.

LegendHero:
What happened to Iran is somehow similar to the incident of Sept 26, 1983 where the soviet Union's early-warning systems detected an incoming missile strike from the United States. The normal protocol in that situation is for the military to retaliate with a nuclear attack on its own.

However, officer Stanislav Petrov whose designation was to monitor apparent enemy missile decided not to report to the military top hierachies and dismised the warning as a false alarm. He used his personal dicretion to conclude that the USA would not dare lunch that kind of attack when the know the soviet also have a nuclear missile and also he decode some erratic signals from the system.

For Iran, their argument was that the airplane was closer to their rocket station and the signal picked it up falsely which led their military to launch the strike directly.

Either way, it was nice for them to admit they shot the airplane coz they cannot hide the truth from the world.


What the hell are you saying, this are clearly two different scenarios, the airplane in question took off from Irans airport!

This is not a case of murder, but manslaughter as the incident was clearly an accident. Iran at the time was on high alert, the plane flew over the airspace of a sensitive facility. Thinking that it was an incoming American air strike response to Iranian missile strike, the Iranian fired their SAMs and shot down the airline. At least they've owned up to this fatal mistake. Even the hardline IRGC have apologized.

There is nothing Islamic about the Islamic republic of Iran.

Recent events in that country has shown the anti-islamic attributes of it's leaders.

Soleimani was assassinated and his body wasn't buried till at least five days later. This clearly against Islamic laws.


They shot down the Ukrainian plane killing 176 people and they denied ever shooting the plane.
They had to own up when real evidence was coming from everywhere.
This makes them liars, another action against Islamic tenets.


That country should be renamed and Islam removed from it's name

You are not exactly right.

they are lying.

Firstly was the aircraft flying outside its flight path?

Two, commercial airlines have a different heat signatures to Fighter jets.

Three, before you fire missiles , you must have confirmed the availability of threat from the most reliable intelligence personnel's.

There is difference between having a good gun and having a competent soldier behind the gun.

Simply put, they shot themselves in the leg.
