Gents, unfortunately confirmed now......Raisi sahb Abdulahian sahb and many others faut ho gaey hain. I bet money Irani crash investigators don't got da expertise to find out the cause.....bewquff Iran got humbled here. I find it hard to believe this was an accident.

I hope if Israheeli finger prints on dis incident, Iran should totally demolish Israheel.

I already knew it 8 hours ago as you can see above and then I posted إِنَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُون,
When a Muslim passes away, you have to say it.

It's a tragedy. Let us pray for their departed soul:

"No survivors" were found at the crash site of the helicopter carrying Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi, Iranian state news agency IRINN and semi-official news agency Mehr News reported.

Some background: A former hardline judiciary chief, Raisi was Iran's eighth president. The former prosecutor and judge was elected in 2021 following a historically uncompetitive presidential contest.

He oversaw a period of intensified repression of dissent, according to human rights monitors.

Next in the line of succession would be First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber, if approved by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iran's Supreme Leader serves as the final arbiter of domestic and foreign affairs in the Islamic Republic, dwarfing the powers of the country's president.

Unlike his predecessor, the moderate former President Hassan Rouhani, Raisi had fostered a close alliance with Khamenei. Many Iranians believed Raisi was being groomed to one day succeed the ailing 85-year-old Khamenei.
