Reports say the helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raiyeesi and the accompanying delegation has been involved in “hard landing” in northeastern Iran.
According to Fars, Ayatollah Ale-Hashem the Friday Prayer Leader of Tabriz, Foreign Minister Hossen Amir Abdollahian, Malek Rahmati the Governor of East Azerbaijan province, and a few others were accompanying the president in the flight. Rescuers are on their way to the place of the incident. Some people have been able to talk to Ayatollah Ale-Hashem moments after the incident, but currently they are not reachable on the phone. Earlier, a source close to the president had told Fars News Agency that the helicopter carrying them was forced to land due to foggy weather.
