Iranian Vice President for Executive Affairs, Mohsen Mansouri, has provided an update on the recent helicopter crash involving President Ebrahim Raisi. According to Mansouri, officials have been in contact with two individuals who were on the same helicopter as President Raisi at the time of the crash. The contact with a passenger and a member of the flight crew shortly after the incident suggests that the crash may not have been severe.
Mansouri revealed that three helicopters were flying on the same route before two of them lost contact with President Raisi's helicopter. The Ministry of Communications and other security agencies have identified the area where the incident occurred within a 2-kilometer radius. However, challenging weather conditions are making access to the crash site difficult.
The fact that officials were able to establish communication with individuals on the helicopter shortly after the crash is a positive sign. It indicates that there may be hope for a successful outcome in this situation. The ongoing efforts of the authorities to navigate the challenging weather conditions and reach the crash site demonstrate their commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all individuals involved.
As more information becomes available, Iranian officials are expected to provide further updates on the situation. The priority remains on conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the helicopter crash and taking necessary actions to prevent similar incidents in the future.
