Associated Press piece on the helicopter crash in Iran, with what feels like slightly odd attempts to frame its moral import:
"The incident comes as Iran [...] launched an unprecedented drone-and-missile attack on Israel last month and has enriched uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels.
Iran has also faced years of mass protests against its Shiite theocracy over an ailing economy and women’s rights ..."
The article also floats a narrative regarding the cause:
"Iran flies a variety of helicopters in the country, but international sanctions make it difficult to obtain parts for them. Its military air fleet also largely dates back to before the 1979 Islamic Revolution."
Not sure what to make of this.
