Last Saturday, the Iranian news agency Daneshjoo quoted Hassan Rezaifar, a director in charge of accident investigations at Iran's Civil Aviation Organization as saying that the black box could not be decoded in Iran and would be sent to Ukraine as Kiev has repeatedly requested. The Tasnim news agency also has reported that Iran would stop trying to decode the black box.

The Canadian government has repeatedly requested that the black box be sent to France or Ukraine.
