Wreckage of President Raisi’s Helicopter Found, No Survivors Expected
The wreckage of the helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has been located, according to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The discovery came after the Akıncı UAV detected a heat signature that matched the missing aircraft in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province.
Rescue teams, led by the Iranian Red Crescent, are currently en route to the crash site. The organization’s head stated, “We are 2 kilometers away from the wreckage and will climb to the top of the helicopter to announce the details.”
Drone footage from the scene has dashed hopes of finding any survivors. The IRGC’s confirmation of the heat signature and the grim visual evidence suggest that the crash was catastrophic.
