Iranian President's Helicopter Crash Site Still Not Located

The helicopter carrying Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi takes off, before it crashed, in border of Iran and Azerbaijan

The search for the exact site where Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's helicopter crashed on Sunday is ongoing, with military officials involved in the rescue operation stating that the location has not yet been pinpointed. The Commander of Iran's 6th Air Force Base announced that helicopters from the 6th combat base of Tabriz Air Force were dispatched to the Varzeqan area to conduct relief operations following the crash.

Despite the efforts of the rescue team and helicopters sent to the accident area, the operation faced challenges due to unfavorable weather conditions, including dense fog and extreme cold. As night falls in Iran, the rescue mission is becoming increasingly difficult.
