In Iran, over 110 people are dead following a plane crash in a densely populated area of the capital Tehran. Officials said most of the dead passengers are journalists with the state media. The plane suffered an engine failure and crashed into a residential block that also houses a gas depot. Referring to the plane, an air force officer told Agence France-Presse: “Our C-130s are in a bad state because of the US sanctions: we can’t get spare parts.”
