Iran’s Civil Aviation Organisation said the recorders were retrieved immediately after the crash and delivered to its offices, where they have been “kept in a safe place” for the last six months with appropriate security measures.

 

This week, an Iranian team arrived at BEA’s facility in Paris where the recorders were put under guard by the French police under a co-ordination plan with the Iranian embassy.

 

The French and Iranian authorities signed a technical co-operation agreement on the issue on 4 July and BAE said that preliminary discussions are taking place between the various stakeholders.
