Five months after the shootdown of the UIA passenger jet over Tehran, Iran says it will send the black boxes to Ukraine, Iran’s Minister of Roads and Urban Development, Mohammad Eslami tells Tasnim, a news agency close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The UIA flight was shot down Jan. 8 by an Iranian ground-to-air missile, killing 176 people in what Tehran later termed a “disastrous mistake” at a time of tensions with the US. Eslami said reading of the boxes will take place in coordination with the United Nations’ International Civil Aviation Organization, Reuters reports.
