Iranian media: The black boxes of the stricken plane will be delivered to Ukraine

Iranian news agency (Tasnim) said on Saturday that the black boxes of the Ukrainian plane that was shot down by human error near Tehran airport will be delivered to Ukraine.

The agency quoted Hassan Rezai Fur, director of the Disaster Division of the Iranian Aviation Organization, as saying that the black boxes of the plane that will be traveling to Ukraine will be analyzed.

He added that the information cannot be analyzed in Iran, and therefore they will be handed over to Ukraine, indicating that if the analysis is not possible in Ukraine, they will be transferred to France.

The Ukrainian Boeing 737 passenger plane crashed on January 8, killing all 176 people on board.

Iran announced that the Ukrainian passenger plane was shot down as a result of an "unintended human error".
