IRANIAN search-and-rescue teams have reached the site of a plane crash that authorities say killed all 65 people on board, Iran’s Press TV reported today.

The Aseman Airlines ATR-72 went down yesterday in foggy weather, crashing into Mount Dena in a remote area of southern Iran. The airliner said all on board Flight EP3704 were killed, including six crew members.

The aircraft was brought back into service only months ago after being grounded for seven years.
