This was reported by The New York Times, citing a leaked audio recording of the conversation of a man identified as Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

In particular, according to the recordings, Mr. Zarif said that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) knew immediately that their missiles had hit the plane, but only admitted to it three days later.

Soon after the plane was brought down, he attended a small meeting of the national security council with two top military commanders, and said the world was demanding an explanation.

The commanders, he said, attacked him and told him to send out a tweet saying the news was not true.

As reported, on March 17, 2021, Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization released the final report on the crash of the Ukrainian passenger plane in January 2020. The report blamed an error by an air defence operator for the accidental downing of the Ukrainian plane.
