There are no signs that anyone on board Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s helicopter is alive, Iranian news agency Press TV reported on Monday.
“Rescuers have reached the wreckage of the helicopter. There was no sign of surviving passengers, after locating the site of the crashed helicopter,” Entekhab portal reported, quoting Pir Hosein Kolivand, head of Iran’s Red Crescent Society, as saying.
On Sunday, Iranian media reported that a helicopter carrying Raisi, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and their companions made a hard landing in northwestern Iran. Rescue teams arrived at the scene, but the search operation was complicated by tough weather conditions, reports said.
