It is now confirmed that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his Foreign Affairs Minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian died aboard the ill-fated helicopter that crashed on Sunday, May 19, this year, reports ITREALMS.

Late Sunday, the news broke that the helicopter on the convoy carrying the president, foreign affairs minister, and seven others crashed while returning from a ceremony to mark the opening of a dam on Iran’s border with Azerbaijan in the Varzaqan area.
The crash scene of the helicopter was located on a steep, forested hillside, with only a blue and white tail left of the aircraft, according to Red Crescent drone footage broadcast on Iranian official TV.

The crash, ITREALMS gathered, resulted in hours-long search and rescue efforts with European Union and Turkey, among others, provided rescue aid.

This is coming some seven months into Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, which escalated tensions throughout the Middle East and exposed a long-running covert conflict between Iran and Israel and a delicate moment for Tehran on the domestic front.
