A Turkish private plane carrying 11 people has crashed in Iran while flying the daughter of a prominent businessman back from her hen party, Turkish media report.
Turkish officials said eight passengers and three crew were on board.
All are feared dead after the jet burst into flames on a mountainside near the city of Shahr-e Kord, in western Iran.
Turkey's Hurriyet news outlet said the passengers were 28-year-old heiress Mina Basaran and seven of her friends.
The group had been celebrating in Dubai ahead of her wedding, scheduled for next month.
The head of Turkey's Red Crescent organisation wrote on Twitter: "According to the last information we obtained from the Iranian Red Crescent, the wreck of the jet and the bodies have been found. They will be carried down from the mountain when the sun comes up. My condolences to those who lost their loved ones."
The Bombardier Challenger 604 plane reportedly belonged to a firm owned by Turkish business tycoon Huseyin Basaran - the bride-to-be's father.
