Among the victims were over 140 Iranian nationals and 32 from other countries, including Ukraine, Sweden, Germany and Britain.
On Saturday, the commander of the IRGC's Aerospace Force, Brigadier-General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh took full responsibility for the Ukrainian plane crash blaming human error and "US adventurism" for the crash that left 176 people dead.
