Three days is insanely fast for a nation Think of how many level of people are there. There are the guys that shot the missile. The ones that command those guys, the ones that command those and commanders above those. In the chaos of the tragedy, no body wants to open their mouth, in case they are executed for saying something that is against the direction which the nations top leaders want to take. Then come the top leaders. With the escalating tensions with the US, having recently sent a barrage of missiles to Iraq, they are holding on to the horses of the country, on the edge of a cliff. They have to discuss and deliberate a myriad of issues that are consequential to their every word. They cannot be too rushed to say that they shot the plane down. It might create a chance for the US to spin this as a deliberate murder. And all these are humans. Humans that run nations, whose millions of peoples lives are at stake. Three days is perfectly OK. I am glad Iran is honest enough to admit it's mistake, unlike Russia, for example.

> Three days is perfectly OK. Three days of silence? Yes. Three days of active denial? Hell no. The Head of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization had this to say: «The version that the plane was shot down by a rocket cannot be true under any circumstances … it is impossible from the scientific point of view.» If they really wanted to tell the truth after some days then why wouldn't he just shut up in the meantime?

  In this context, remaining silent would be tantamount to acceptung fault. However, they could have said even they were not sure, and that they are investigating.

It’s not okay at all. They were furiously denying all claims that it was shot down by them. Saying it was scientifically impossible and that it was a sneer campaign by the states. ONLY AFTER the video of it being shot down appeared did they admit to it. But only after several countries publicly said that Iran shot down the plane. So no they didn’t do a good job. Stop giving them props for shooting down a plane and lying about it until they were exposed by the media.

Iranian officials did deny shooting the plane initially. They were indirectly compelled to accept their mistakes by several foreign agencies and by videos that surfaced on social media. They might be better than Russia but that not cannot cover up their lies over this issue.
