Rescuers are trying to locate the helicopter on which President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian were traveling, state media reported. Their status is unknown.

A helicopter carrying President Ebrahim Raisi crashed on Sunday, according to Iran’s state media and the country’s mission to the United Nations, but has yet to be found by search-and-rescue workers because of heavy fog.

    I was going to remove this post for not being explicitly related to Ukraine but opted to leave it up so this question could be asked and answered for those that don’t know the reason(s). In the future the answer should be more polite as this is one of the last places on Lemmy where the realities of this war are disseminated without an obvious pro-Russian bias, and good questions should be encouraged.
