Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's helicopter crashed while traveling back from East Azerbaijan, sparking concerns about his safety and that of his delegation. The incident occurred amidst poor weather conditions, with heavy rain and fog reported in the area.
According to sources, two of the three helicopters in the president's convoy made it back safely to the city of Tabriz, but the third helicopter, carrying the president and high-ranking officials, went down. Traveling with Raisi were Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran's East Azerbaijan Province Governor Malek Rahmati, and Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Ale-Hashem.
Rescue efforts are ongoing, but the challenging weather conditions have hampered the search and rescue operations. Iranian authorities have called upon citizens to pray for the president and his delegation, hoping for their safe return.
The incident has raised concerns about potential regional implications, given the president's conservative stance and close ties to the supreme leader. The situation is developing, and more information will be available as the search and rescue efforts continue.
