My thoughts go out to all the loved ones that have lost so many at one time.

It just burns my ass that this repressive government in a time of great pain for many choose to insert propaganda into the moment. Since when did we control or block Russian parts to anything. This is just shameful and very representative of the extremes the Tehran government will go to keep tensions high between them and us.

Caspian Airlines is a Russian-Iranian joint venture founded in 1993. Iran has frequent plane crashes often because of bad maintenance of its aging aircraft. Tehran blames the problem in part on U.S. sanctions that prevent Iran from getting spare parts for some planes. Caspian Airlines, however, uses Russian-made Tupolevs whose maintenance would be less impaired by American sanctions.
