Everyone is discussing the interesting approach, but it is not clear to me that the aircraft even reached the Yasouj NDB to commence the approach.

Those are some serious Mountains north of Yasouj, and tall mountains, strong winds can create extreme problems in maintaining altitude.

So far, information on the route of the flight has been pretty sketchy.
