Rescue workers in Iran search the wreckage of a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, operated by Ukraine International Airlines, which crashed shortly after take-off on Wednesday, January 8 2020. Picture: BLOOMBERG/ALI MOHAMMADIUkraine said on Friday that Iran is ready to hand over the black box flight recorders of the Ukrainian passenger plane downed by an Iranian missile.

Ukraine’s foreign minister Vadym Prystaiko said Iran would grant a team of investigators from Iran and Canada access to the recorders, as the countries that lost the most nationals. After initial denials, the Islamic republic admitted it shot down the plane “unintentionally” while on high alert after firing missiles at US troops stationed in Iraq in retaliation for the killing of top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani by a US strike.
