They may have done had there not been so much overwhelming evidence.

They were left with no plausible deniability

Very true, but that never stopped them before. Something has changed. First the tipoff about the rocket attacked and now this. Sure they're stilling laying some of it off on the U.S. but I think they're reaching out. The sanctions are crushing their economy and I do believe they were bitch slapped into a little bit of reality with Trump taking out their main General. The game has changed and they know it.
I'm not saying we should just roll over, but this may be a very unique situation where an opportunity to establish better relations with them is within reach. We should, albeit it cautiously, pursue this path a bit further.

You basically carry yourself like a Nazi would in 1930s Germany and what is going way over your head is people like me are just going to put you in your place. I see no evidence you are intelligent; quite the opposite really that you think your ideas have any place in the modern world. Again, I wonder how poorly the American education system is that dumb guys like you came out of the system. The extreme hubris in your country compels mediocre people like yourself to have unrealistic expectations of their knowledge and abilities. It's why some of you think starting wars is a positive outcome that will lead to easy conquests and liberations in countries where you are absolutely hated for very legitimate reasons.

What is sad really is how you carry yourself as a human being and your lack of basic human decency.

Iran’s military blamed human error for the strike, and said the plane had been misidentified as a cruise missile flying over Tehran. But the plane’s flight path would suggest otherwise. It was climbing at around 2,000 feet per minute on its ascent from the airport when the first missile was fired, according to a Times analysis of flight data.

Flight activity from Tehran’s international airport was normal on the morning of Jan. 8, the flight data showed, and Flight 752 followed its regular route. It was one of 19 planes that took off from Tehran in the hours after Iran launched missiles at military bases in Iraq housing American troops.
