Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi experienced a 'rough landing' in a helicopter on Sunday, according to Iranian media.
A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi experienced a 'hard landing' on Sunday, according to Iranian state media. Iranian media, according to multiple reports, said rescue teams were dispatched to the site, though there have been multiple conflicting reports regarding the incident. Raisi was traveling in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province near the city of Jolfa at the time of the incident.
One local government official used the word 'crash' to describe the incident, but he acknowledged to an Iranian newspaper that he had yet to reach the site himself. Raisi had been in Azerbaijan early Sunday to inaugurate a dam with Azerbaijan’s President, Ilham Aliyev. The dam is the third one that the two nations built on the Aras River.
The visit came despite fragile relations between the two countries, including over a gun attack on Azerbaijan’s Embassy in Tehran in 2023, and Azerbaijan’s diplomatic relations with Israel, which Iran’s Shiite theocracy views as its main enemy in the region. This is a developing story. Check back soon for updates. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
