After a Ukrainian passenger jet went down near Tehran, Iranian officials initially denied reports that the plane was shot out of the sky. Iranian state media repeated the lie, but eventually the regime was forced to admit that the flight was indeed shot down.
Here's an update on the repercussions for the Iranian regime from the New York Times' Middle East correspondent:
