Tens of thousands of Iranians gathered Tuesday to mourn President Ebrahim Raisi and seven others who were killed in a helicopter crash on a fog-shrouded mountainside in the northwest. Iranian authorities have declared five days of national mourning, with a funeral procession planned for Tehran on Wednesday.
Waving Iranian flags and portraits of the late president, mourners set off from a central square in the northwestern city of Tabriz, where Raisi was headed when his helicopter crashed on Sunday.
