Protests have been taking place in Tehran calling for the leadership to resign, as President Trump tweets that he will 'stand by them'. Read more on this story here:

Later on Sunday, deputy foreign minister of Iran Seyed Abbas Araghchi responded, also on Twitter.

UK security minister Brandon Lewis told Sky's Sophy Ridge on Sunday that the government was calling on Iran to co-operate with investigations and to de-escalate tensions. Ayatollah Khamenei, the highest authority in the country, expressed"deep sympathy" to the victims of the plane crash on Saturday but did not apologise, leaving that to other senior officials.

While the commander apologised, he added to public anger by saying he told the authorities on the day of the crash a missile hit the plane - three days before the military admitted they had shot it down.
