Iran President Live News | Helicopter Carrying Iran's President Raisi Suffers a 'Hard Landing'  | CNBC TV18
Fars News Agency cites the head of the Red Crescent in Iran’s East Azerbaijan region as saying that rescue teams are being sent to an area emitting heat that was detected by a Turkish drone helping with the search operation.
The spot is suspected to be the site of the crash. The official said the location is in an area called Tawal. Iran’s Press TV also reported that rescue forces are heading towards the spot. The video broadcast by Turkey’s state news agency Anadolu is taken from the Akinci drone, which is flying over Iran’s northwest region.
Upon the request of Iranian authorities, Turkey said it had assigned a drone, helicopter, vehicles and a rescue team to help in the search of the missing helicopter carrying the Iranian president and foreign minister.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi suffered a “hard landing” on Sunday, Iranian state media reported, without elaborating. Some began urging the public to pray for Raisi and the others on board as rescue crews sped through a misty, rural forest where his helicopter was believed to be.
The likely crash comes as Iran under Raisi and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei launched an unprecedented drone-and-missile attack on Israel just last month and has enriched uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels. Meanwhile, Iran has faced years of mass protests against its Shiite theocracy over an ailing economy and women’s rights — making the moment that much more sensitive for Tehran and the future of the country as the Israel-Hamas war inflames the wider Middle East.
Raisi was traveling in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province. State TV said the incident happened near Jolfa, a city on the border with with the nation of Azerbaijan, some 600 kilometers (375 miles) northwest of the Iranian capital, Tehran. Later, state TV put it farther east near the village of Uzi, but details remained contradictory.
Traveling with Raisi were Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, the governor of Iran’s East Azerbaijan province and other officials and bodyguards, the state-run IRNA news agency reported. One local government official used the word “crash” to describe the incident, but he acknowledged to an Iranian newspaper that he had yet to reach the site himself.
