- Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi has been killed in a helicopter crash, state media has confirmed.
The helicopter reportedly got into difficulties in heavy fog in the north of the country on Sunday before crashing; killing the president, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and several others.
Raisi, a hardline cleric close to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was heading to the city of Tabriz, in the north-west of the country, after returning from a dam opening ceremony.
An election for a new president is now set to take place in the next 50 days.

Moment of silence for the helicopter
Moment of silence for tbe helicoptor
And the trees below
May God have mercy on the Helicopter and grand him or her Jannah
He was a great man, he is definitely in peace no matter what is said by the ignorant people
He was the supporter and defender of poor and oppressed people
He was the open enemy of Oppressors, occupiers, capitalists, child killers , and genociders like America , Israel and their allies.
And it's obvious that he will be projected as a bad guy by the mainstream media and so Those who are saying so much bad about him are brainwashed by the media lies
I request all those sincere journalists who think that women are oppressed in iran should visit Iran once and see the truth with their own eyes
LMAOOOOOOO
Those poor trees. May God give them a speedy recovery.

I am an Iranian and I am saying this. Many Iranian people were happy because of this incident and many were sad. You know, these days the situation in Iran is not very good, and to be honest, it is very bad. Since Mehsa Amini was killed last year, there has been animosity between the people and the government, as you must know. Now the situation is so bad that even the people of the country are divided into two groups. One of the groups considers everything as compulsory and they say that we have to follow the strict laws of the country. The second group also wants freedom and now these two groups have problems with each other. Iranian people are becoming more and more miserable day by day. Please pray for the people of Iran.🙏🏻🙏🏻 Sorry my English is not very good.
Your English is perfect! The whole decent world stands with the new generation of Iranians. We are all watching & hoping the best for the amazing Persian people! Just wishing we knew how we might help.

My Stepdad fled Iran in 1979 to escape these madmen in power. Wouldn’t be where I am without him. The Iranian People I’ve met throughout much of my life have been absolutely well mannered, giving, and intelligent people. All of them I’ve spoken to don’t wish to ever live there again due to the atrocities committed by the Iranian Government in the past 45 years. My Stepdad eventually gained his US Citizenship almost a decade ago after 35 years of everything he did including being a Business owner.

I agree, that to use an ancient US helicopter was about the dumbest thing one could do.
This is why Europeans still rule the world - because they are simply smarter and much more ruthless. Most other races and nations accept this and bow to them and work for their riches. Challenging Europeans takes a different calibre and the only ones who have the power and the intellect are the Russians. The only other race with a spine and stamina to match the Europeans.

Delete your comment because the islamic government has hired thousands of people to post comments here, they may get your information and cause you trouble. The people of Iran are very happy with the president's death in such a horrible way. But here you will see the comments of Palestinians and extremist Muslims who make up only five percent of the population, maybe even less, and they introduce themselves as Iranians and say that they are saddened by the death of the president and that they earn money for social media activities.
He was nothing. He was a just a mindless puppet slave with zero will to do his own agenda. I'm Iranian btw.

Love Iran from brother India ❤🇮🇳

And the crew team 😢
successful trip then. aren't these the people who always declare they embrace death?
Iranian people now have a chance to get themselves a free and prosperous future.
You don't know anything about Iran politics do you?
sadly not. the irgc is still number one power in the country and will likely just replace their puppets with new ones and chamenei‘s son will eventually become the new leader since the president (his only opponent for that role) is likely dead now
Do u think a prostitution culture is an example of a freedom culture, just check the literary rate of Iranian women and compare it with your own country
They're the ones who put Islamic Republic in power in 1979. That's why it's called an Islamic Revolution not an Islamic uprising like the Taliban.
