New details have emerged regarding the moments leading up to the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Iran's president and foreign minister. The former president's chief of staff, who was in a separate helicopter nearby, reported that the weather was initially perfect at the beginning of the flight. However, approximately 45 minutes into the journey, the president's pilot instructed the helicopters to ascend to avoid a cloud. Tragically, the president's helicopter then disappeared abruptly.
Following the crash, a massive procession took place in Tehran, with hundreds of thousands of people lining the streets to pay their final respects. The public mourning has been widespread across Iran, particularly in Tehran, where the funeral procession for the victims was held.
