“Tehran blamed the Ukrainian authorities for leaking what it described as confidential evidence and said it would no longer share material with Ukraine from the investigation into the crash.”

There are many questions left unanswered by Iran:
-Why did they allow civilian flights to take off after launching ballistic missiles targeting military bases in Iraq where U.S. troops were stationed?

-Why did officials lie for three days?
-Why doesn’t Iran hand over the black boxes?

Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) shot down Ukraine Int'l Airlines flight PS752.

ADDENDUM:
Iran's airports are under the supervision of its government, meaning President Hassan Rouhani was fully informed of this tragedy.
@farnazfassihi, a known Iran apologist, published an NYT piece portraying a very innocent image of Rouhani.

More from Fassihi:
"The new details also demonstrate the outsize power of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which effectively sidelined the elected government..."
And she conveniently downsizes the tragedy as a mere "miscalculation"...

Image 1 - Fassihi portraying Rouhani as a "champion of truth."
Image 2 - More of Rouhani's innocence & acting as a role model.
Image 3 - The claim of Rouhani only finding out "a few hours ago" is a complete lie, especially with the recent revelation of the recording.

And the @nytimes constantly provided cover-up support for Iran's regime through this entire process.
"Accidentally"
"consequence of the heightened tensions"

And let's not forget @CNN's @camanpour who also pitched in to help Iran's regime in its desperately needed phase of damage control.
Notice how she blames the US & portrays a very innocent image of Iran's regime.
Of course, we shouldn't be surprised about Amanpour...

@amanpour is also very active in providing airtime to Iranian regime officials - so-called reformists - to push their talking points.

Business Insider also jumped on the #FakeNews bandwagon:
"According to a new NYT report, Iran knew that it had accidentally fired on the aircraft immediately – but the country’s IRGC hid the truth for days, even from Iran’s president Hassan Rouhani."

Final thoughts:
"The disclosure of the audio makes it clear that the control tower, and by extension the regime’s Civil Aviation Organization (CAO), had been immediately informed of the shooting down of the Ukrainian passenger jet."

"The CAO is an agency of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development. There is no doubt that Hassan Rouhani was notified of the cause of the crash through government channels. But he waited 72 hours before admitting this horrific crime."
