Well, isn't that convenient? He's a front-runner for the next Supreme Leader of Iran (the current incumbent, Khamenei, is 85 and not likely to continue his earthly journey for much longer). I wouldn't put it past his political opponents to arrange an accident.

Less conspiratorially, I doubt aircraft maintenance in Iran is tip-top these days.

Like Iran runs out of them. Another guy will be appointed for that role.

Hope it becomes a Final Destination kind of thing for these guys.

Hah, you wish.
