Nov 15, 2017 at 20:31 comment added Maarten Bodewes @SEJPM This is commonly a question in crypto courses to test if the student understands the mode. This is why I left out the actual calculations and schematics. Usually there is not much use for retrieving the IV, especially if the plaintext is already known anyway.

Nov 15, 2017 at 19:50 comment added SEJPM @zaph Maarten is talking about a straight decryption of the first block w/o involving any modes, so you don't need an IV, BTW Maarten, you may want to add some mathy formulas to your answer for illustration
