An Iran Air Boeing 747-200, registration EP-ICD performing flight IR-4704 from Adana (Turkey) to Doha (Qatar), was enroute at FL310 near Tehran (Iran) when the crew needed to shut one of the engines (CF6) down and diverted the flight to Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport.
The aircraft was unable to continue the flight, due to lack of a replacement aircraft the cargo consisting of sheep was deboarded.
The aircraft and the sheep mowing the grass at the airport remained on the ground in Tehran for about 63 hours until the aircraft was repaired and was able to continue the journey.
