In Iran, the investigation into the helicopter crash in which Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi died was officially completed. As it turned out, the accident occurred due to weather conditions, primarily dense fog.
Points of attention
- The official investigation indicates that Iranian President Raisi died in the plane wreckage due to dense fog and difficult weather conditions.
- This was already stated by insiders in the Iranian special services.
- Iran continues to cooperate with Russia amid its aggressive war against Ukraine, transferring kamikaze drones and other weapons.
New details of the death of Iranian President Raisi
British journalists were the first to analyze the final report released by Iran's state television.
The main reason for the helicopter crash was the difficult weather conditions in the region, the report says.
In addition, it is clarified that it was the thick fog that caused the helicopter carrying Raisi and his companions to crash into the mountain.
This is confirmed by the High Commission of Iran, which was tasked by the Iranian military to investigate this incident.
It is also worth recalling that a previous report by the Iranian military in May said that no evidence of malice or attack had been found during the investigation.
As mentioned earlier, the plane crash happened on May 19, 2024. Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi and the head of the country's Foreign Ministry did not manage to survive.
A week ago, insiders in the Iranian special services announced the completion of the investigation into the Raisi helicopter crash. They said the helicopter was overloaded and got caught in the fog.
Iran provides Russia with weapons for the war against Ukraine
Over the past 2.5 years, Iran has remained one of the closest allies of the aggressor country of the Russian Federation during its war of aggression against Ukraine.
Dictatorships have decided to significantly strengthen their cooperation in the military sphere after February 24, 2022 — with every month it only gains momentum.
Tehran regularly transfers kamikaze drones to the Russian Federation, with which the aggressor country attacks peaceful Ukrainians almost every day.
In February, the military forces of Iran, Russia and China were going to conduct joint naval exercises. And recently, the "Big Seven" called on Iran not to transfer ballistic missiles to Russia for use in the war against Ukraine.
Tehran ignores calls from the international community and Ukraine to sever ties with Russia.
