A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi crashed while he was visiting a northern region in the country Sunday, according to the Iranian state news agency IRNA. His condition is currently unknown.
Iranian officials say dense fog is making it difficult for rescue crews to locate the downed aircraft in the remote, mountainous East Azerbaijan Province.
The country’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and the governor of East Azerbaijan were among a number of officials also aboard the helicopter, IRNA said
