An Iranian official told the media that the lives of President Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian are in danger after the president's helicopter crashed on Sunday, the official said We are still optimistic but the information from the crash site is very disturbing.
The IRGC says the location of the helicopter accident has been accurately determined, and that rescue teams have determined the exact location of the crash of the helicopter carrying the country's President Ebrahim Raisi, adding that military personnel are on their way to the site. The condition of Raisi and the other people who were on board the plane remains unknown.
Raisi was returning from the opening ceremony of a dam on Iran's border with Azerbaijan when his helicopter had to make a hard landing, near the city of Julfa, located on the border with Azerbaijan, about 375 miles northwest of Tehran, the capital of Iran.
If Raisi is not found alive, he will be replaced by Vice President Mohammed mukhabir, and new elections will be held within the next fifty days, according to official media reports.
We expect a strong rise in oil by the beginning of the week's trading, especially if it is confirmed that my boss, the president of Iran, was killed as a result of this incident.
