Furthermore, Iranians themselves make up a large share of the casualties: "Victims of the crash included 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Germans and three Britons" [1].
The way the article frames it makes me think this is aimed as a hit piece against Iran, to make the public suspect them of having shot down the plane. But I wouldn't blame them not wanting to cooperate with Boeing, a US military-industrial company, right after the US assassinated one of their top officials. They probably worry the black box could be used to fake evidence.
