Shocking loss for Iran: President Raisi killed in helicopter crash. What does this mean for the region?
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash in East Azerbaijan province on Sunday, as reported by Iranian media. The helicopter carrying President Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian disappeared over a mountainous region.
Iran's state television reported that there were no signs of life among the passengers of the helicopter. "Upon finding the helicopter, there was no sign of the passengers being alive as of yet," the state TV said.
This incident occurred during a time of heightened regional tensions, notably due to the Gaza conflict and Iran's recent escalations with Israel. President Raisi, who assumed office in 2021, had reaffirmed Iran's steadfast support for Palestine, a position emphasized during his recent dam inauguration speech.
