RE: plane forced to land in Iran...
I have been looking at the reports,
but I have been unable to determine what is going on.
The plane was flying from Bagram airfield north of Kabul to Dubai. The normal flight path goes through Iranian airspace.
One official said Iranians radioed the plane’s crew to say they did not have the proper paperwork and to return to Bagram. The pilots said they did not have enough fuel to return so the Iranian authorities told them to land in Iran.
A senior State Department official said the issue appeared to have been resolved after the plane landed at Bandar Abbas in southern Iran
