Reuters -� Iran�s aviation authority has agreed to send black boxes from a downed Ukrainian jetliner to Kiev for analysis, Iran�s representative at the United Nations� aviation agency told Reuters.

Farhad Parvaresh, who heads Iran�s delegation at the U.N.�s Montreal-based International Civil Aviation Organization, said Tehran�s civil aviation authority had also invited other interested countries to participate in reading the data.

The move ends a two-month stand-off over the fate of the recordings from the jet, which was shot down by the Iranian military on Jan 8 with the loss of all 176 people on board.
