Person who shared video of Iranian missile hitting plane detained — report

A person who shared video online of an Iranian missile hitting a Ukrainian passenger plane has been taken into custody by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, Reuters reports, quoting the Fars news agency.

The Fars report says the investigation will be published, without elaborating.

The Revolutionary Guard admitted over the weekend to shooting down the plane, killing all 176 people on board.

Iran’s judiciary earlier today announced arrests in connection to the missile strike on the plane, but didn’t specify how many people were detained or name them.
