Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi has been involved in a helicopter crash hours after posing for pictures with Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev and rescuers are frantically trying to reach the site. The aircraft was traveling in Iran's East Azerbaijan province near Jolfa, around 375 miles northwest of Tehran, when it suffered a 'hard landing', according to Iranian state television.

Rescuers were attempting to reach the site, but had been hampered by the poor weather conditions in the area. There had been heavy rain and fog reported with some wind.

The helicopter was one of a convoy of three and foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, Friday prayer Imam Seyyed Mohammad-Ali Al-Hashem and other high-ranking officials were also reportedly on the helicopter with the president.

Seems if the landing was “hard” enough for one passengr to be “missing,” the that musta been pretty “hard.”

I suppose the Mossad might know where President Raisi is. But it would be a waste of time to ask them, as they’re quiet types.

His “Entourage” were along. So does this mean Kerry, Jarret and Obama were on board when it crashed? We can only be so lucky. /spit

Isn’t the slogan of the Mossad that “it’s never an accident “? That’s what my t-shirt says!😁

Apparently copter landing result of fog and bad weather....certainly a possibility.
How Iran ‘plays’ any potential deaths or injuries is another question.

It’s a high honor to be on the aircraft with the top target. Prigoshin’s team was probably happy to get the invite to ride with him.

On the other hand, Albert Speer was denied the honor of riding from the Wolf’s Lair to Berlin with Fritz Todt even though he had been scheduled to do so on Feb 8, 1942.
