ABC News Online: Iran aborts plan to send black boxes of downed Ukranian plane to overseas investigators
Iran appears to have backtracked on its promise to send the flight recorders from a downed Ukranian jet it shot down for overseas analysis — a day after officials said they would be sent to Kiev.
Hassan Rezaeifar, head of the accident investigations unit of Iran's civil aviation authority, was quoted by the state-run IRNA news agency on Sunday (local time) as saying, "the flight recorders from the Ukrainian Boeing are in Iranian hands and we have no plans to send them out".
He said Iran was working to recover the data and cabin recordings, and that it may send the flight recorders — commonly known as black boxes — to Ukraine or France.

WNU Editor: I cannot say that I am surprised that they have decided to not send the black boxes to outside investigators. They cannot been seen losing control of the narrative, especially now with the current unrest in Iran.

I'd say they lost the narrative from the beginning.
Also I wouldn't be surprised if the " black boxes" shown are fake.
