Iran admits they shot down a passenger jet and we apparently start a new cycle of everyone giving Iran way too much benefit of the doubt.

Stop. Again -- there is no moral equivalency here.
The statement from the Iranian general staff about how this happened does not really make sense.
The plane took off as others had done just before it. It didn’t “turn” toward sensitive areas, as alleged.

This doesn’t make sense.
As comparison — here are the first few minutes of the flight track log for QR491, which took off just minutes before PS752, and PS752

They follow the same take off trajectory. (QR then turns southwest then south then southeast to Doha, PS would have veered to northwest to Kyiv)
