US urges complete cooperation with probe into Ukrainian flight's crash in Iran

The United States yesterday urged complete cooperation with a probe into a Ukrainian flight's crash in Iran. According to media reports, Iran has rejected giving the Boeing plane's black boxes to Washington.

Without naming Iran directly, secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, the US calls for complete cooperation with



any investigation into the cause of the crash.

The crash came as the tense relationship between Iran and the United States had sharply worsened, with Washington killing one of Iran's top generals. Hours before the crash Iran had fired missiles at bases in Iraq housing US troops.
