An Iranian fighter jet crashed Monday in a residential area of the northwestern city of Tabriz killing three people, including two crew, state television reported. The head of the local Red Crescent organisation said the plane smashed into a school and that one of the dead was a resident of the neighbourhood. Local official Mohammad-Bagher Honarvar told state television that the school was closed at the time due to the coronavirus pandemic. He identified the plane as a F-5 fighter aircraft and said it went down at around 9:00 am (0530 GMT) in the central Tabriz neighbourhood of Monajem.

Some American F-4 and F-5 fighter jets dating back to before the 1979 Islamic revolution are also part of its air fleet.
