The flight crashed after Iranian attacks against US forces in Iraq.
The head of the Civil Aviation Organization of Iran, Ali Abedzadeh, said he would not deliver the black flight boxes to Boeing or the United States after they were found on Wednesday.
Trump suspects
President Donald Trump said Thursday that he suspected that a recent plane crash in Iran was not due to mechanical problems, indicating that "someone could have made a mistake on the other side."
When asked during a White House event what he thought happened to the plane, Trump said, "Well, I have my suspicions."
"I don't want to say that because other people have their suspicions," Trump said, but added: "Someone could have made a mistake on the other side ... not in our system. It has nothing to do with us."
“I was flying in a rather complicated neighborhood. They could have made a mistake. Some people say it was mechanical. Personally, I don't think that's the issue. ”
When asked if he thought he was shot down by accident, Trump said: “I don't know. I really don't know ... that depends on them. At some point they will deliver the black box. ”
"Ideally, give it to Boeing," he said, but added that giving it to France or "some other country" would also be fine.
"Something very terrible happened, very devastating," he concluded.
