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.

"We had reports of cruise missiles fired at Iran. It was an individual's error that caused this tragedy."
He also blames "jammed communications."
My take:
He is very careful to portray a low-level mistake to safeguard senior regime officials.
Reminder:
Cruise missile - 6.25m (20ft) long & 0.52m (21in) in diameter
Boeing 737-800 - Wing span 34.31m (112ft 7in), length 39.47m (129ft 6in), height 12.55m
