Hot off the press wires..
Iranian Plane Catches Fire, Killing 60 Passengers, AFP Reports
An Iranian airliner on a domestic
flight caught fire while landing in the northeastern city of
Mashhad, killing at least 60 passengers, Agence-France Presse
reported, citing state-run television.
The plane, with 140 passengers, was a Russian-made Tupolev
coming from the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, AFP reported.
It burst into flames after a tire blew upon landing, the news
agency said. State television didn't immediately give the
condition of the other 80 passengers, AFP said.

CNN says:
pilot survied and spoke to iranian transport minister, who then said: a tyre burst on landing and then the airplane swerved (spelling?) of the RWY.
don't know nothing about tupolews, but this explanation is kinda weak IMHO.
