I’m not surprised they finally admitted it. With all the evidence building up, their bulldozing the crash site and refusing to let others see the black boxes, etc. it was becoming pretty obvious they were lying. And with our media and democrats blaming Trump, which would only make sense if it wasn’t a mechanical failure, it then made sense for the Iranians to admit they “accidentally” did it. Javad Zarif, Iranian Foregn Minister just tweeted “Human error at time of crisis caused by US adventurism led to disaster,” continuing the Blame Trump narrative.
That may be their psychological defense. They still admitted they shot it down. Most people will blame Iran, not the President.

You were expecting otherwise? :)
This is what spin doctors do.
