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.

So the missing chopper was use to ID the LZ for the other two ?
If they were in the 20th century they could have just popped a smoke grenade to Mark it.
But I’m good with what they used...
looks bad ( or good)
Akinci UAV identifies source of heat suspected to be wreckage of helicopter carrying Iranian President Raisi
The Iranian President and Foreign Minister take unannounced secret trip to adjoining somewhat neutral neighboring country traveling low profile via small helicopter. Why would they do this? Perhaps to hold some kind of secret talks? Perhaps certain parties were unhappy these talks were occurring? Perhaps the unhappy parties arrange for an accident that would assure the deal being worked does not come to fruition? If I were Israel, I know I might be worried if the Iranians were secretly chatting with say, Americans? Or the maybe the Turks? On the other hand, hardline Iranians might also be very unhappy about this kind of secret back channel meeting with the great Satan. And if I wanted plausible deniability, I would contract the job with Kurds who live there and already hate the Iranians.
Thanks!
Thanks!
If that crash location on the map is accurate, they went down in an area of 4-9,000 ft peaks which probably means it was a hard landing head-on into a mountain. A VERY hard "landing."
NO matter how he died( if in fact he is dead)... it was by appointment!!
God could have chosen to take him out Himself.. through fog and a accident...or??... we may never know!
Just in footage
Drone footage suggests Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi helicopter completely destroyed
Is he dead yet? It is about 6:30 a.m. and the sun has been up for 90 minutes.
Sorry about that. Correct link but please start from the beginning instead of halfway through.

It appears that Iranian leaders associated with the Hamas terrorist attack are getting the same treatment as the 1972 kidnapper-assassins of the Israeli Olympic athletes.

I agree that all deaths are by “appointment only”….but
Some people are involuntarily assisted to their appointment. I am not convinced this is the case here however — what does Amir say?
But first this quote “Former Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif: “The US is responsible for the tragedy of the crash of the president’s helicopter. It banned the sale of airplanes and their parts to Iran despite the order of the International Court of Justice.
As always - someone else is responsible for their shortcomings!”

I love it when a plan comes together.
An event as this will always be used for political advantages and otherwise.
It’s pretty obvious the weather played a huge role in locating the wreck but likely mechanical failure brought it down.
Ya gotta wonder why they would shuffle key leaders around in risky helicopters to begin with.
