Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi has been killed in a helicopter crash, state media confirm.
Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian was also killed in Sunday’s crash, along with several others.
The helicopter – one of three travelling in a convoy – crashed after it got into difficulties in heavy fog in the north of the country.
President Raisi was heading to the city of Tabriz, in the north west of Iran, after returning from an Iran-Azerbaijan border area, according to local media.
The incident sparked a massive search operation that was hampered by bad weather conditions.

Its all lie. You cant kill a person who's now dead in the eyes of the world. He will continue feeding terrorism undercover.
Do not judge what you have not seen with your own eyes
Did BBC AND UN mourn for BUTCHER OF TEHRAN?! Families of thousands of his victims are celebrating and you were giving him respect? HE HATED THE WEST AND HE WAS A EVIL! HE MERCILESSLY KILLED HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS AND THOSE WHO DIDN’T SHARE HIS VIEWPOINTS! Even Iranians esp women hated him! You should have your conscience checked
may allah grant him highest level of jannah ❤
The free nation of Iran mourns its pure and distinguished politicians, days of sadness will pass and happiness will come
