Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi has died alongside the country’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian after a helicopter carrying them and other officials crashed in a mountainous and forested area of the country in poor weather.
Raisi was returning from Iran’s border with Azerbaijan, where he and the Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev inaugurated a cooperative dam project, the latest sign of warming relations between the two countries.
