The Iranian Foreign Ministry offered condolences to Nepal over its deadliest plane crash in 30 years.

According to Tasnim news agency, in a post on its Twitter account on Monday, Iran's Foreign Ministry offered condolences to the Nepalese government, nation and the families of victims of the plane crash.

Rescuers have recovered 68 bodies out of the 72 people on board the ATR 72 aircraft operated by Yeti Airlines that crashed in the tourist city of Pokhara minutes before landing on Sunday in clear weather.

The plane, on a scheduled 27-minute flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, gateway to the scenic Annapurna mountain range, was carrying 57 Nepalese passengers, five Indians, four Russians, two South Koreans, and four persons each from Argentina, Ireland, Australia and France.
