A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi made a hard landing while visiting a northern region of Iran, and the condition of those on board remains unknown. The incident has triggered an urgent rescue operation.

The presidential convoy consisted of three helicopters, two of which were carrying ministers and other officials. These helicopters arrived safely at their destination. However, the helicopter carrying President Raisi encountered difficulties, prompting immediate concerns for the safety of its passengers.

Rescue teams are en route to the location of the hard landing, but adverse weather conditions are expected to delay the search efforts. The harsh weather complicates the rescue operations, making it challenging to quickly locate the missing helicopter.

Reports indicate that the survival status of President Raisi and the other passengers aboard the helicopter remains unclear. According to the World of Statistics, the helicopter’s passengers included:

  • President Ebrahim Raisi
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian
  • East Azerbaijan Governor Malek Rahmati
  • Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Ale-Hashem, representative of the Iranian Supreme Leader to East Azerbaijan

Different rescue groups have been mobilized and are moving towards the area where the helicopter was last reported. Iranian authorities are coordinating these efforts and are hopeful that they will soon reach the crash site despite the challenging conditions.

This incident has caused significant concern both within Iran and internationally, as it involves several high-ranking officials. The Iranian Interior Minister has stated that more information will be provided as the rescue teams make progress.

The world watches anxiously, hoping for a swift and positive resolution to this critical situation. Further updates will be provided as more details become available from the rescue teams on the ground.
