Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi has died in a helicopter crash, Iranian state media has confirmed.
Raisi was on board a plane with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian when it crashed into a mountain range on Sunday after experiencing difficulties while traveling in dense fog.
Rescuers said there was “no sign of life” when they managed to reach the wreckage of the plane, as search efforts were hampered by poor weather conditions.
