Air safety experts say Iran has a poor safety record with a string of crashes in recent decades, many involving Russian-made aircraft.

U.S. sanctions on the Islamic state have prevented it from buying new aircraft or spares from the West, forcing it to supplement its ageing fleet of Boeing and Airbus planes with aircraft from the former Soviet Union.

The Russians produce shotty planes, and it’s America’s fault. Of course, we all know Reuters doesn’t have the best record when it comes to bias.
