State TV says president has died in helicopter crash
Iranian state-run television is reporting that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has died in a helicopter crash alongside foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

The pair were confirmed dead after the crash in a mountainous area in the province of East Azerbaijan, Press TV reported, without citing a source. The report follows similar reports from other Iranian media including the Mehr and Tasnim news agencies as well as the Reuters news agency.

No immediate cause was given for the crash, which took place amid foggy conditions on Sunday as the president was returning from a trip to neighbouring Azerbaijan to inaugurate a dam.

The governor of Iran’s East Azerbaijan province and the representative of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to East Azarbaijan province as well as bodyguards were also on board, the state-run Irna news agency reported.

There must be a severe safety issue with helicopters.
If they can't even withstand the mildest of weather conditions, why use them as a means of transport?



May God grant the families the fortitude to bear the loss.

Yeah, but this loss will definitely demoralise them for a while I think.
Not looking good for them at all.
Anytime they get attacked, something disheartening happens afterwards. cry

I hope they have learnt their lessons and not play with missiles anymore.
