Raisi, 63, was confirmed dead by Iranian media today along with Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian and seven others. Drone footage from Iranian and Turkish news agencies revealed the helicopter had smashed apart on landing, while clips shared by the Iranian Red Crescent showed solemn rescuers carrying corpses on covered stretchers out of the forest surrounding the crash site.

Iran is yet to provide any details surrounding the crash nor has it offered an explanation besides a simple statement on the poor weather conditions.
