Iranian media report that a helicopter carrying President Ebrahim Raisi encountered an accident in East Azerbaijan Province and some of his companions in the helicopter "managed to make contact with the center."
Meanwhile, IRIB News Agency wrote, "Rescue teams are continuing their efforts to reach the crash site."

“No longer fear Israel?
How did you reach that conclusion?”
Because a month ago, Iran launched over 300 missiles and drones directly from Iran at Israel.
Israel’s deterrence has been eroded and the precedent for direct conflict has been set. Iran has no issues with attacking Israel directly if they so desire.
The fact that Iran was able to do not damage with her onslaught means that Iran’s credibility is demolished, not Israel’s.
"Fear they will. Live they will not."
Helicopter have hundreds of moving part and sounds like one was left out.

Was Raisi vaxxed?
If that were the case, Iran would have already attacked Israel directly. That's the Islamic way.
The reason Iran has not attacked Israel is that your conclusion is incorrect.
No kidding. smh
really?
thats weird because I live in Israel and on Saturday night, April 13th 2024, Iran launched over 300 missiles and drones at Israel. I even heard a few of the explosions from the interceptions from where I live.
I don’t need to give a conclusion when I have historical facts. And the fact is that Iran DID attack Israel directly last month.

Final words: "Hey, what's a mountain goat doing on a cloud bank?"
Iran’s Foreign Minister... isn’t he the git who been threatening to nuke Israel.
You said, Israel's defenses are degraded because of Iran's 300 missile attack and, as result of that attack, Iran is not now afraid of a direct attack on Israel.
Then you said, Iran has already directly attacked Israel with its 300 missiles.
If the missile attack WAS Iran's "direct" attack...it failed.
The $64 question is whether, when the MAGA contingent on the Ground receives orders from the Politically Reliable Joint Chiefs in the Pentagon, will they carpet bomb Sidney, Nebraska, or the Pentagon?
Yes, I;m talking circles around you.
Iran is not afraid of attacking Israel directly because they already have attacked us directly—regardless of it’s success or not. They are not deterred and the precedent has been set and they will attack directly again.
you are the one who said
“The reason Iran has not attacked Israel is that your conclusion is incorrect.”
perhaps you need to brush up on current events?
Except your conclusion is meaningless.
The Iranian attack was a major embarrassment to Iran. Are they going to keep embarrassing themselves? Iran uses proxies for deniability. When they acted personally they look like the JV team.
It’s not easy to be Israel but Iran attacking personally made it possible for Israel to strike Iran directly. Both Nations appear reluctant to escalate at this time.
You are using the assumption that the “next time”, Israel will be shielded by a “coalition” of the US and other countries that had well over a week to prepare for the impending attack.
We might not have that luxury next time.
Yes, Israel also proved that we are willing to attack Iran directly too — but we’ve been operating a direct shadow war there for well over a decade and that wasn’t a real secret.
Iran has never before dared to attack us directly until now.
and if you are really following the news right now, then it seems like the Iranian president may have gotten Kobe Bryant’ed. The Mullahs will have no problem deflecting their sorrow by blaming and attacking Israel again
