Isfahan province

Isfahan province is a region in central Iran. Recent news focuses on a military helicopter crash in Dorcheh, a town within the province. The crash, which occurred on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, resulted in the deaths of two military pilots and two merchants after the helicopter crashed into a fruit market. Dorcheh is significant because it houses a major Iranian army airbase. This incident follows another recent aviation accident in Iran, specifically a fighter jet crash in Hamadan province less than a week prior. While the articles primarily highlight the helicopter crash, they also indirectly point to the broader context of internal unrest and external tensions facing Iran, as evidenced by reports of protests and warnings against potential US military action.
