Iran has experienced multiple aviation incidents in recent years, with authorities frequently citing challenges in maintaining ageing aircraft fleets under international sanctions that restrict access to spare parts.
The latest incident follows another crash last week in Hamedan Province, where an Iranian fighter jet went down during a night training exercise, killing one of the two pilots on board.
