Iran will not transfer to other countries the flight recorder shot down Boeing

Iran does not intend to transfer the on-board recorder of the shot down airliner to IAU to other countries. This was stated by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in an interview with NBC News on February 15. Mohammad Javad Zarif noted that the majority of those killed on January 8 on a shot down airliner were Iranian citizens. The Iranian Foreign Minister, citing the norms of international air law, stated that Iran has the right to lead the investigation into the crash of the Ukrainian airliner. But he also noted that Iran would not be able to obtain data from the flight recorders of the shot down aircraft without software, cables and additional information that the country could receive from the United States of America or other Western States. The Iranian Foreign Minister also noted that Tehran had appealed to the United States of America for assistance, but had been refused. In this regard, the Iranian Foreign Minister wondered why the United States had not assisted Tehran. Why didn 't they give us the software? Why did they not provide us with information?, the Iranian Foreign Minister wondered, noting that Iran is more eager than anyone else to learn the truth about what happened because there are many unknown people. He also noted that at the moment no one is working on decrypting the on-board recorders. The news agency recalls that on January 8, an airliner of International Airlines of Ukraine crashed near Tehran. As a result, 176 people were killed. On 11 January, Iranian authorities announced that a Ukrainian airline aircraft had been shot down wrongly by the Iranian military, which was on high alert.
