Iran Press/ Iran news: A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi made a “tough landing” on Sunday during a visit to the country’s northwest.
The President of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) has confirmed that rescue and search teams have identified President Ebrahim Raisi’s crashed chopper.
There is "no sign of life" at the crash site of a helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hussein Amirabdollahian, and seven others, officials and state TV say.
The incident occurred as a result of dense fog in the region, which is making conditions difficult for rescue teams.
The helicopter was transporting President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and several other officials when it encountered difficulties and was forced to make a "hard landing." The incident happened in the Dizmar forest, between the cities of Varzaqan and Jolfa.
