Iranian officials have retracted state news service reports that search crews pinpointed the location of the wreckage of the Iran Aseman Airlines ATR 72-200 that crashed during a scheduled flight Sunday morning between Tehran and the western Iranian city of Yasuj. Flight EP-3704 disappeared from radar at about 8 a.m. local time while carrying 66 people over a mountainous area of central Iran. On Sunday the airline told state television that all of the occupants died in the crash, although at the time search crews had not found the wreckage.
