TEHRAN, Jan 26 (Reuters) - An Iranian military plane crashed in the early hours of Thursday near the Gulf coast, the semi-official Fars news agency reported, saying no reason had yet been given for the incident.

"An F-14 crashed three minutes after take-off at 4:30 a.m. (0100 GMT) near the city of Bushehr," Fars reported, citing a local government official. (Reporting by Hashem Kalantari; Writing by Robin Pomeroy)
