    The government claimed that an IRGC commander shot accidentally believing that it was a cruise missile from the United States. They admit that they failed to shut down civilian air traffic despite their plan to fire missiles and then shooting those missiles at United States forces in Iraq.

    While admitting fault, Foreign Minister Javad Zarif still tried to shift some blame to the United States for Iran’s actions. Iranian citizens are outraged at their government for their incompetence and for lying about it for three days.

    There is widespread anger across Iran as the people there realize they had been lied to once again by the Supreme Leader of Iran.

    There are people in the streets calling him a murder, others are calling for a referendum and a constitution.

    The Iranian govt is using its "special police units" to hold back protesters but thats proven ineffective.

    Numerous videos can be seen at the link above.

    Its also interesting to me that the MSM/Democrat party and Irans Foreign Minister are using the same tactic of trying to transfer blame for this to Donald Trump.

    The Democrats and their Iranian allies have common enemies. Trump and the Jews.

    It is despicable and was playing right into the hands of our enemy.

    There are protests centered around 2 universities with one of them, Sharif (Iran's version of MIT), having many graduates and students on that flight. While the protests aren't huge, they include those who are chanting slogans against Iran's Supreme Leader.

    Trump’s courageous act still paying dividends. Who would have though one bold move would bear such an abundance of fruit—and I despise the jerk, but I love this. I raise him up one level in Dante’s levels of hell.

    Some may protest. My guess is that most will see it as an honest mistake made possible by the U.S. drone attack at the Baghdad Airport.

    Yes, but it was an own goal politically. The US assassination of General Soleimani produced unprecedented unity and brought crowds never seen before, not even at the height of the revolution. But with this tragic incident, and Iran's regime and those who support it or who are against the 'implosion agenda' of the US/Israel, are on the defensive. That then opens room for a minority which is interested in the overthrow of the regime to come out and chant their slogans.

    The subject was Iranians. I am not an Iranian. As for "Democrats," who knows? It's a big political party with diverse beliefs and opinions. If the Iranian reports are true, I would guess the person responsible would be guilty of manslaughter, but the charge would not extend to President Trump, no matter what the causal connection. Trump's actions, however, might have been in violation of U.S. and international law and I suspect that debate to continue.

    Possibly, but the Iranian leadership obviously decided that hiding the true cause of the plane crash could have had even worse repercussions and made the calculated decision to accept blame. Again, my guess is that the majority of the Iranians will see the U.S. at fault for the action that precipitated the mistake they made in shooting down a commercial airliner. Not saying that's right or wrong, just my expectation of their reaction.

    Just like the Jews in of the past who collaborated with the nazis, the Jews of today who collaborate with the Democrats aren't very good Jews.

    Blaming the shoot down on mechanical issues then the US isn't "honest".

    Destroying evidence from the scene isn't "honest".

    Making an admission, only after every other lie has failed isn't "honest".

    Self hate? The Dem party seem to be somewhat antisemitic.

    I am not disputing your assessment, but there are those who are following a different script altogether. In that script, this tragic incident gives an opening to continue were the recent protests had left off. The protests aren't really about the plane that was shot down, but reflects that portion of Iran's public (a minority) who want regime change.

    Did you expect them to be? Ultimately, it appears they have been. But, I'd be relatively certain that their "honesty" was a calculated decision based on the overwhelming evidence for their own missile defense as the guilty party. A horrible tragedy, as was the pro-Russian militia shoot-down of the Dutch commercial airliner, in Ukraine, and our own accidental shoot-down of an Iranian commercial airliner, over the Persian Gulf, some years ago.

    Were not the ones chanting that the Jews won’t replace us. But they were good people right?

    Logical fallacy that avoids answering the question.

    Yet many despise Israel. Jews vote for Dems just like Black people do. Because they think they’re supposed to, NOT due to actually looking at their policy.

    Iran’s version of MIT is quite an overstatement. Nice little tech school though.
