Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 was shot down by the IRGC thinking it was an American cruise missile. A few days prior to this tragedy a US missile killed IRGC General Qasem Soleimani, so Iranian air defense personnel were on edge. The Iranians were embarrassed by the incident and tried to cover it up, but the truth eventually emerged.
Expect more incidents and mishaps with the Iranians as many of Trumpf's incoming national security people have an irrational animus of Iran. In the world of intelligence collection and global diplomacy, there is no room for illogical hatred.
