DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran's judiciary said Tuesday arrests have been made over the accidental shootdown of a Ukrainian passenger plane that killed all 176 people on board just after takeoff from Tehran.
The announcement came shortly after Iran's president called for a special court to be set up to probe the downing last week of the plane by Iranian forces.
Judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili was quoted by Iranian state media saying that "extensive investigations have taken place and some individuals are arrested. He did not say how many individuals have been detained or name them.
Iran, which initially dismissed allegations that a missile had brought down the jetliner, acknowledged — three days after Wednesday's downing and in the face of mounting evidence — that its Revolutionary Guard had shot down the Ukrainian plane by mistake.
Arrested those who denied the news?
Arrested those who bulldozed the area?
What’s become of those who said that the Iranian missiles killed 30 Americans in Iraq?
I rarely get anything right, but I said the other day that there will be fall guys for this and they will be some schleps with itchy and terrified fingers that day.
Iran’s leaders will have to be brought down by force.
I don’t know how much of a grip they have on the military.
I thought it was strong but some here said not so much.
We shall see.
Is President Trump also responsible for the 56 trampled in the funeral procession?
Lieutenant-General Qassem Solemeini should have read up on “impeachment” in the U.S. Constitution!
How do you say “Thrown under the bus” in farsi?

Heads will roll— no kidding.
You know they’ll want to make it a big spectacle to convince doubters that the shoot down wasn’t intentional.
That’s how those Ayatollahs remain in control of the country: you screw up, you die.
A few poor bastards, tag your it. Now lets get back to being a fun loving, head shopping, stone throwing, religion of peace nation, people, what do you say?
None arrested will turn out to be Qods Force or even in the mil. Likely some hapless protestor.
L8r
Scapegoats will be found.
The guilty will get off.
Some poor slob who managed to get himself cross ways of the mullahs will be blamed even if he was sleeping innocently in his bed when the plane was shot down.
I have cast the broccoli.
I wonder if Iran has a 99% conviction rate like Japan.
They are caving to the protesters. This is just an attempt to quiet things down.
It’s like a general punishing his Sargents for obeying his orders that led to failure.

Iran uses cranes for executions. So to be precise, necks will be stretched.
Splat! Splat!
——arrested——
what was the crime?
The act was an act of defense in time of war. There was no crime
A court martial must determine if the order to fire the missile had sufficient basis under the military rules at the time
Some peoples did something.
