The guard’s aerospace commander, Amirali Hajizadeh, said on state television Saturday, “I take full responsibility and I will obey whatever decision is taken.” He said he “wished” he “were dead” when he learned about the fate of the aircraft.
“That night we had the readiness for all-out war,” Hajizadeh said. He added that the Revolutionary Guard asked that commercial fights be canceled but that the request was not carried out.
Earlier Saturday, Ukraine’s president had called for a full admission of guilt for the downing of the plane that killed all 176 people aboard.
