The Iranian Red Crescent says they have deployed 14 separate teams to the region… as of now the teams arrived to the area, however not to the specific spot where the helicopter just crashed. The reason for that they say, is the harsh weather conditions.
40 search teams deployed to search for missing helicopter
Al Jazeera’s Ali Hashem reports that eight ambulances are also involved, as well as drones. However, according to Fouad Izadi, a professor of world studies at the University of Tehran, the teams have been unable to contact those on the helicopter.
“That could be because the accident is very bad, or it could be because the area is not covered by the network. We have to wait and see,” Izadi said.
