Question

Accepted Answer

The Destination of the Black Boxes Remains Undetermined

Iran has stated it will not hand over the recovered black boxes of the crashed Boeing 737 to the United States or the manufacturer, Boeing. Iran Civil Aviation Organisation head Ali Abedzadeh indicated that the ultimate destination for the black boxes' investigation is not yet clear. While Iran has recovered the two black boxes from the wreckage of Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752, the country where the air crash occurs is responsible for conducting the investigation, according to global aviation rules.
Iran Will Lead the Investigation

According to Ali Abedzadeh, Iran's aviation organisation will lead the investigation into the crash. He also mentioned that Ukrainian representatives may be present during the inquiry. This aligns with the rules of the International Civil Aviation Organisation, which designates the host country of an air crash as the lead investigator.
Limited Countries Capable of Analysis

While Iran is leading the investigation, the analysis of black boxes is a specialized task typically handled by a limited number of countries. Aviation experts identify Britain, France, Germany, and the United States as nations possessing the necessary capabilities for such analysis. France's Accident Investigation Bureau (BEA) has confirmed it has not yet received any requests for assistance from Iranian authorities regarding this specific crash.
