It's worth pointing out that since the incident Iran has arrested those responsible for downing the jet - in an attempt to place blame on to individuals - who I'm certain are devastated at accidentally killing their countryman. I suspect they will be labelled traitors and never seen again.

They have also arrested the person who filmed this video [2]. Whilst we might celebrate this investigative journalism, this video changed the course of the narrative and forced Iran to come clean, we should also be aware of the consequences of it.
