#BREAKING
#Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) takes full responsibility & apologizes for the Ukraine Int'l Airlines flight #PS752 downing with SAM missiles.

My take:
This is quite unprecedented in this regime's history.
Heads will roll & the mullahs are in deep crisis mode now.
#BREAKING

IMPORTANT

More signs of #Iran's regime in crisis mode

Fars news agency, affiliated to the IRGC, condemns "Iran's leaders" for "shortcomings"... adding "they must be prosecuted, no matter what post they hold."

So many beautiful lives lost

The mullahs in #Iran think they can simply call it an "accident" & case closed?
NO! HELL NO!

If this was any other country, the president or prime minister & many others would be forced to resign.

The dictator @khamenei_ir must be held to account.

#Breaking Confirmation de 2 #G7Biarritz en 1 seul: celui du président #Macron en champion du multilatéralisme, de la coopération et celui de #Trump ne faisant que du souverain/bilatéral (avec Abé, Bojo etc). Reste à savoir la réaction US à ce chiffon rouge #Zarif sur l'#Iran...RT
2) Pour mesurer la provocation pour #Trump que représente l'invitation de l'iranien #Zarif au #G7Biarritz par le président #Macron, rappelons que le MAE de l'#Iran a été sanctionné en personne par le Trésor US il y a 3 semaines. Le communiqué de presse: home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…

U.S. Sanctions Supreme Leader and Senior IRGC Commanders Behind Iran’s Destructive and Destabilizing Activities home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel… #Iran #sanctions
The designation of the Supreme Leader and his office was the call by the Iranian resistance as demanded in our May 1st press conference in Washington when releasing "Iran's Emissaries of Terror." #Iran #terrorism
In the Emissaries of Terror, released on May 1, 2019, on page 175, we demanded the designation of the Supreme Leader, his Special Affairs Office, his entire Beyt (House). The U.S. designation of the Supreme Leader is a step in the right direction.

NCRI-US's @A_Jafarzadeh: One less money laundering tool in the hands of the ruling mullahs. Timely action by @USTreasury to deprive the #IRGC & Supreme Leader @khamenei_ir of funds to suppress #Iran's people, plunder their wealth & spread violence and terror in the region.
A key policy recommendation in the NCRI-US’s newly published book, ‘Iran’s Emissaries of Terror” stressed “Sanctions on the petrochemical industry will close one of the most critical channels used by the regime to finance its domestic and foreign malign activities.” #Iran #IRGC
