Storm in the Islamic Republic and Revolutionary Guards in particular after taking responsibility for the shooting at the Ukrainian plane that resulted in the deaths of some 176 passengers and crew • "Human error has resulted in this situation, we will make every decision the administration makes" • Ukrainian President demands compensation

After the dramatic Iranian announcement tonight (Friday and Saturday) and blaming the Ukrainian plane for overthrowing, the reaction, accusations and excuses came. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani tweeted in his Twitter account that "the Islamic Republic of Iran expresses deep sorrow for the devastating mistake made. Our thoughts and prayers are for all the grieving families."

Iran's spiritual leader Ali Khamenei summoned the military chiefs immediately after he officially received the results of the test, announcing that the information must be made public, which is in fact what led to the surprise admission and the subsequent press conference and apology messages. It was also learned that the soldiers responsible for the shooting would be tried before a military court.

Revolutionary Guards Air Force and Space Commander Amir Ali Hajizada convened a press conference today at noon, just two days after a similar incident vehemently denied his state's involvement in the incident. "I wish I had died and that this incident would not have happened," he opened his words dramatically. "We sacrifice ourselves for our people for a lifetime and in the end we despise ourselves and have to face a camera to explain. We in the Revolutionary Guards take responsibility for the event and are ready to make and implement every decision the government makes."

The Iranians have shown that they fear the United States

"Our forces were on alert for a confrontation with the US forces," the Air Force commander continued. "An error in the anti-aircraft system led to the identification of the Ukrainian aircraft as a cruise missile and therefore, in view of the fact that we were on maximum alert due to the US threat of response, we intercepted it. It was a human error that caused this tragedy. "

Documentation of the damage to the Ukrainian aircraft

"The officials and government officials who until yesterday denied the missile hit are not to blame, they said what they knew, the blame is upon us. At that time, we were ready for an all-out war with the US. We had information about cruise missiles fired at Iran. It was a human error that caused this tragedy. The person responsible for the anti-aircraft battery had ten seconds to make a decision, and there was also a malfunction in the communications networks. The United States also bears partial responsibility for dropping the aircraft because it is the one that started the escalation. "

Ukraine and Canada require extensive investigation and compensation

The Iranian confession, as expected, has caused a stir in the involved countries affected by the incident. "Right now we are focusing on 'closing the circle' and achieving justice for the destroyed families and the loved ones affected by the incident," said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. "We will continue to work with our partner countries around the world and conduct a comprehensive investigation of the incident. We look forward to full cooperation from the Iranian authorities in the investigation."

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zalansky said he expects the Iranians to have a transparent and formal investigation by the regime, along with an apology and compensation for the conventional pipelines. According to him, a team of dozens of Ukrainian experts is already in the scene investigating the scene.
