Nothing is certain at the moment, but the way the large and small satans are reacting makes one wonder if President Raisi’s crash wasn’t an attack.
President was in country’s East Azerbaijan province, located in Iran’s northwest.
It is unclear what happened to the helicopter, and semi-official Tasnim news agency is describing the occurrence as an ‘incident’. The aircraft was also reportedly carrying the country’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian. Difficult weather conditions and fog have hampered the efforts of the rescue teams, state TV has also said.

Special forces from the Iranian Army and the IRGC have reached the helicopter crash site and are carrying out nighttime search operations.
The leader of a BRICS+ nation and his foreign minister would make an attractive target.

UPDATE: As rumored last night, Raisi is dead. If this was a successful attempt, and it looks much more like an accident, but it, then as Vox noted, it’s 1 for 3 for the clowns.
RIP, and condolences to Iran.
