They gave the orders and the soldiers carryout the command. They are the ones to be arrested

The Ayatollah is the one responsible

Hope the correct ppl are being blamed and not just passing the buck to save the wrong behind!

The perpetrators Should be brought to justice

Apparently the only guy that Who’s been arrested is the guy who shoot the video and published it. Iranian regime thought if the poor guy didn’t do that no one would have found out It was Iran.

And if IMPOTUS hadn’t whipped up the tension in that area for “reasons” all of those people would be alive and in their loved ones arms. We know where the true blame lies.

Yeah sure, like the Saudis arrested this who killed kashagi, you ain't fooling us

the ones arrested should be the theocrats running the country.

Will victims’ lay blame where much of it is deserved? Mr trump made the call to assassinate a political person and thus stirred the hornets nest leading to the missiles. Yes, Iran, is accountable....but it was directly caused by trump for reasons that our government can’t define

So the scapegoats will be punished and the real criminal and person behind the attack is still running the side show that is the WH? Got it.

believe it when i see them put against the wall and shot, a public execution.

Shouldn't Rouhani carry the full blame? He must have ordered the missile launch Total hypocrisy

Iran Makes Arrests Over Downed Ukrainian PlaneAuthorities in Iran said they have arrested a number of individuals in connection with the shooting down of a Ukrainian airliner last week that killed 176 people, as public outrage and calls for accountability grow. Have they arrested themselves? I thought Iran claimed that shooting down the Ukrainian airliner was “human error.” Now they are arresting a number of people, despite it being an accident? Bullshit
