I've seen the blaming of "old aircraft" for this. My father worked on CH-46 helicopters for the Marine Corps in the '90s and '00s that dated back to Korea and Vietnam.

"Old aircraft" can still fly fine.

Too bad Khameni didn’t die too. Hopefully he kicks the bucket soon.

Whether that changes much is another question though. His son now seems in a good position to take his father's resigns, and he's not known to be a reformist at all. Ideally the entire system would just collapse and be replaced by a more democratic form of govt.
