The investigation is on Iranian soil. There is no access to the FAA or similar agencies. Iran would have every reason to want to cover up an erroneous missile launch.

In Ukraine, there was a cooperative effort to investigate the crash, and it was found to be a Russian missile.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. But others are saying it is possible to track missiles with systems other countries have. So, hopefully we will have some answer.
Not possible for a low altitude SAM that would be used for something like that, unlike MH17 at much higher altitude.

To track it you'd have to be really close. Like next neighborhood or so.
