The Associated Press is reporting that until a few months ago the aircraft had been out of service for seven years.
The aircraft only began flights months ago after it was “grounded” for seven years. The airline posted a photo of the plane on Instagram saying it would be up and running after repairs were done and safety checks and tests were conducted. It’s unclear what caused the aircraft to be grounded for an extended time.

Some bits from Twitter
Video supposedly showing a couple of seconds of final approach into Yasuj on a ATR a few months ago:
Iranian Aerospace Forum on Twitter:
One PAX reportedly a no show.
Aircraft overhauled after a few years in storage due to lack of spares, put back in service in November 2017:
This supposedly shows the weather conditions in the area:

A really lousy NDB approach. Wonder whether the Iranian aviation authority was/is working on a VOR approach? They spent the funds to install that VOR/DME recently.
