Rescuers have located the helicopter that crashed with Iran's president on board. The crash is believed to be an accident, but there are concerns that Iran may falsely accuse one of its adversaries of foul play. The likely cause of the crash is attributed to heavy fog in the mountainous forested region of northern Iran where the incident occurred.
Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei has assured the country that state affairs will continue without disruption. In the event of the president's incapacity, the first vice president, Mohammad Makhbar, would assume power according to Iran's succession plan. Iran's support for Hamas is expected to persist despite the crash.
