Iranian President Raisi dies after helicopter crash – Reports

Raisi and Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian are among the nine dead, according to the report.

On Monday morning, local media published images taken by a drone showing debris from what appears to be a completely destroyed aircraft on a steep slope in the middle of the forest.

Raisi and Amirabdollahian were travelling back from a meeting with the president of neighbouring Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, when their aircraft disappeared from radar on Sunday afternoon.
