Iranian military prosecutor says human error led to shooting down of Ukrainian airliner: Tasnim

[THEBAGHDADPOST] The shooting down of a Ukrainian airliner in Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
in January was due to human error and not an order from senior military authorities, the military prosecutor for Tehran province, Gholam Abbas Torki, said on Monday, Tasnim news agency reported.

There was no indication that the downing of the airliner, which killed all 176 people aboard, was due to a cyber attack on Iran’s missile or air defence systems, Torki said, adding that three people were under arrest related to the accident.

#1  The human error was that they didn't anticipate that the US wouldn't retaliate.

As there was zero US military activity in Iranian air space there was no way they could pin this on Trump.

OTOH if there had been any military reaction the MSM's dominant narrative would have been accusing Trump of a war crime, even in the face of evidence of Iranian wrongdoing.
