Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian are reportedly missing after a helicopter he was travelling in was forced to make a “hard landing” on the border of Azerbaijan, local media reported.
The massive search for the Bell 412 helicopter involving Red Crescent rescue teams, military personnel, and police is ongoing but is being hampered due to heavy fog in the region. Teams of men are currently on foot looking for the helicopter at the latest reports.
Iran's television networks have no changed their line from "hard landing" to "accident" more than two hours after the helicopter crash. The country's health minister "all health facilities have been sent to the location."

If he’s found alive would the rescuers want to save him?
Point Israel.
Is that speculation or is that what is being reported?
the president doesn’t run the government, the Supreme Leader does.
When he dies he will be replaced by other “high” religious leaders.
the only way to free the people of Iran is to overthrow this group of evil men.
the people of Iran have their destiny in their hands
This really shakes up the competition for next Supreme Leader.
WUT? First I’ve heard of it! 🤔😊👍
When it was a good magazine, long ago, National Review used to end obituaries of famous people with “He (or she) will be missed”. The communist congresswoman Bella Abzug died and they ended her obit with “She supported every anti-American, leftist organization. She will NOT be missed”. I feel the same way about this guy: “He will NOT be missed”.
True, the President’s portfolio is restricted mainly to domestic affairs.
But unlike previous holders of his office Raisi was a legit candidate for next Supreme Leader. He was known to have support of more than a few of the Assembly of Experts, the guys responsible for picking Supreme Leader.
See any bears yet?? the rescuer asked......lol
PLEASE-—ANYONE-—explain to me HOW DOES ONE SEND ‘HEALTH FACILITIES’ to a different location.?
That description seems to belong to BUILDINGS, etc.
My thoughts and prayers are with the @washingtonpost obituary team in this difficult time as they fiercely debate whether Ebrahim Raisi was an “austere religious scholar”, a “patriotic anti-Zionist leader” or a “zealous anti-corruption crusader”.
Start with a poor translation.
but the supreme leader is OK
Feel good story of the day - Counting down to them blaming Jews and the Great Satan America.
Flags at half staff yet at the WH?
I think that got lost in translation...
The leader of North Korean is a big fan of Dennis Rodman and the leader of Iran apparently choose to follow Kobe Bryant.

Nothing good ever happens in Azerbaijan...
Maybe this is a rare exception...
Thankyou, Mossad...
ouch!
