A helicopter carrying President Ebrahim Raisi crashed on Sunday, according to Iran’s state media and the country’s mission to the United Nations, but has yet to be found by search-and-rescue workers because of heavy fog.

Mr. Raisi was on an official visit to the province of Western Azerbaijan, a mountainous region in northwestern Iran.

“Some of the president’s companions on this helicopter were able to communicate with Central Headquarters, raising hopes that the incident could have ended without casualties,” Tasnim added.
Al-Jazeera says CNN has it wrong.

There were other reports, such as that someone on the helicopters was in touch with the outside world, but that has proven not true.

Rescuers on Monday found a helicopter that was carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country's foreign minister and other officials that had apparently crashed in the mountainous northwest reaches of Iran the day before, though "no sign of life" was detected, state media reported.

Doesn’t the religious leader do all the real decision making in Iran?

Iran’s law stipulates that if the president dies, power is transferred to the first vice president and an election must be called within six months. The first vice president is Mohammad Mokhber, a conservative politician.
I don’t think that is good.

Hasn't he already walked away from the copter and resumed traveling to his destination?

Hard to know what conservative means these days, but it's usually not great in Islamic theocracies.

To be fair everyone who thinks probably went there in their brain pretty quick if not first.

Videos airing on Iranian state television show rescue teams driving along mountain roads in very thick fog and teams walking on green hills wearing the red and white vests of emergency teams. Rescue dogs are also being dispatched, according to state media.

Twitter has videos of search parties in dense fog. I’ll try to figure out how to embed.
