Iranian state television described the incident as an “accident.”
The Guardian reports that the semi-official Fars news agency has urged Iranians to pray for Ebrahim Raisi, and state TV carried prayers for his safety.
According to CNN, Raisi’s helicopter was part of a convoy of three helicopters. The other two helicopters were carrying ministers and officials who arrived at their destination safely.
Following a rigged election process in 2021, the Iranian regime selected Raisi as its next president. Raisi is one of the the theocratic state’s most notorious murderers. As the Organization of Iranian Communities notes, Raisi helped engineer the execution of more than 30,000 political prisoners in 1988 alone.
He also played a played a significant role in the slaughtering of 1500 pro-democracy protesters as the head of the Islamic Republic’s Judiciary, following the 2019 nationwide protests.
