The helicopter crash in Iran caused a stir. According to the Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the helicopter belonged to the Iranian Army’s aviation unit and crashed in the fruit and vegetable market in Darcheh, Khomeini Shahr County, Isfahan Province. The agency stated that the crash was caused by a technical malfunction. In addition to the pilot and co-pilot, two market traders were also killed.
According to Reuters, Iran has a poor air safety record, with frequent crashes, many of which involved aircraft purchased before the 1979 Islamic Revolution and lacking original spare parts for maintenance.
Last week, a US-built F-4 fighter jet belonging to Iran’s regular Air Force crashed in western Hamadan province, killing a pilot during a training flight.
