TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — An official investigation into the helicopter crash in May that killed Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi and seven other people found it was caused by challenging climatic and atmospheric conditions, Iranian state TV reported Sunday.
The final report of the Supreme Board of the General Staff of the Armed Forces said the main cause of the helicopter crash was the complex climatic conditions of the region in spring, state TV said.
The report also cited the sudden appearance of a thick mass of dense fog rising upwards as the helicopter collided with the mountain.
According to the report, there were no signs of sabotage in parts and systems.

Do beware his helicopter crashed into the mountains one day after publically announcing he will destroy Israel.

Jonathan Cahn has much interesting detailed information, with supporting Scripture about the Iranian’s demise.
Israel’s Enemies should be very careful what they wish upon Israel.

Two problems. First, does ANYONE believe what Iran says? Second, it was reported by AP.
To: All
Those guys talk about destroying Israel every day, so that timing is not significant.
There is entirely too much swaggering presumption of US superiority in all things technical nowadays. Planes and helicopters crash.
2019, pre Covid, 122 helicopter crashes in the US. 24 had fatalities for a total of 51 dead.
It happens. It happens here. It happened in Iran.

On what day in the last twenty years have Iranian leaders NOT announced they wanted to destroy Israel?
