WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The helicopter carrying Iran’s President, which crashed earlier today, has reportedly been found by rescue team.
Iran’s Deputy President for Executive Affairs Mohsen Mansouri has said that two members of President Ebrahim Raisi’s entourage have contacted rescue teams, and this shows that the air incident involving their helicopter has not been rough, reported the IRNA news agency. Another promising point is that the Ministry of Communications has been able to determine the location of the accident within a radius of two kilometers, Mansouri added. Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, Governor of East Azarbaijan Province Malek Rahmati, and other leaders were also reported to have been on board the helicopter.
President Raisi was returning from a ceremony to celebrate a dam opening on the border with Azerbaijan when the ill-fated helicopter crashed in the Varzaqan region on Sunday.
