Iran pilots die in military jet crash
In Iran, officials say a U.S.-made F-14 Iranian fighter jet has crashed in the Bushehr province of southern Iran, Radio Liberty reported.
Iranian Fars News Agency quotes officials as saying both the pilot and the co-pilot were killed in the January 26 crash.
The report says technical failure is suspected of being the cause of the downing.
Iran owns a fleet of U.S.-manufactured aircraft that Tehran bought before the Islamic Revolution of 1979.
Reports say international sanctions targeting Iran's nuclear program have hindered Iran's ability to maintain the fleet.
