The Iranian Civil Aviation Authority confirmed that two missiles were fired towards the Ukrainian plane that was shot down earlier this month, killing 176 people, while Tehran said it requested assistance from France and America in unloading the contents of the black boxes.
The report of the commission stated that the investigators discovered that two Tor-M1 missiles were launched towards the plane, adding that an investigation is still underway to assess their effects.
In its second report since the disaster of the plane shot down by the Revolutionary Guards, the authority said it did not have the necessary equipment to unload the data of the Boeing 737's stricken plane.
She indicated that she requested devices from the American and French authorities in order to be able to download the data, but she did not receive a positive response, according to the commission.
Iran has said it will unload the flight data and voice recording devices on its soil, after conflicting signals about whether to send the black boxes abroad at the request of Canada, Ukraine and other countries with citizens killed in the accident.
Tehran acknowledged that the Revolutionary Guards mistakenly shot down the plane that was en route to Kiev, and a video clip showed that it had hit two missiles thirty seconds apart between the first and second. In response to the assassination of the US Army commander of the Quds Force Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad.
The victims of the struck plane include 67 Canadians, 11 Ukraine, 17 Swedes, four British and four Afghans, and countries whose citizens were among the dead are pressing for Tehran to hand over the data of the Boeing 737 flight for analysis by Western experts, as well as providing compensation to the victims.
