02:19 Tehran Times and BBC are also reporting that Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi's helicopter crashed.
02:26 And after the crash, this dam was identified 14 hours or 16 hours later.
02:32 Because the weather was bad, the area was also difficult.
02:35 But after that, when this dam was identified, Iranian Hilal Ahmar said that the rescue teams reached the dam of the destroyed helicopter first.
02:44 And after that, they tried to get any positive news.
02:49 But according to the Iranian government TV, President Ibrahim Raisi's helicopter crashed.
02:55 There is no guarantee of life.
02:57 This means that the Iranian Foreign Minister and Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi have lost their lives in the helicopter crash.
03:03 They were on a tour of East Azerbaijan.
03:05 And when they were returning, this sad incident has happened.
03:11 And now it is being said that the helicopter crash in which President Ibrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hussain Amir Abdullahian were on board.
03:21 The objection is now that both have lost their lives.
03:24 We are giving you very sad news.
03:26 And it was being said that Raisi was going back to Tabriz, the city of Iran.
03:33 And he was returning from the border area of Iran and Azerbaijan.
03:36 And not only this, but he also started a dam with the Azerbaijani President during his tour of East Azerbaijan.
03:43 But on the return, this sad incident happened.
03:46 After starting the dam, he was returning to Tehran.
03:49 There were three helicopters in his caravan.
03:52 He also had a delegation with him.
03:54 It was a bad weather according to Iranian Foreign Minister Ahmad Wahidi, who was returning to Tabriz.
04:01 As a result, the rescue team had difficulty reaching the scene of the accident.
04:05 Then the news began that one of the three helicopters in the caravan had to do hard landing due to smoke in the north of the country.
04:16 President Ibrahim Raisi and the Foreign Minister were present in the helicopter that was about to crash.
04:22 The Iranian media said that the rescue efforts were ongoing.
04:26 The dam was found, but nothing was officially said.
04:30 The Iranian Hilal-e-Ahmar server told the government TV that the situation was not good.
04:37 After that, the series of speculations began.
04:40 Then the Iranian government television started reporting that President Ibrahim Raisi's helicopter was not finding any signs of life at the scene of the accident.
04:50 After that, everyone was praying.
04:52 The Pakistani media and officials were also saying that they were with Iran in this difficult time.
04:58 Everyone was praying that this accident would not be a life-threatening one.
05:05 There are many high-ranking delegations present there.
05:07 President Ibrahim Raisi is a very special person.
05:12 As we were talking about earlier, he was telling the former ambassador who President Ibrahim Raisi is.
05:18 This is the time when we are seeing that it can have a negative impact on the region.
05:23 Everyone was hoping that this incident would not happen because many conspiracy theories have been born.
05:31 As we were talking to the former ambassador, he pointed out that distress signals are given.
05:39 If a helicopter is crashing or landing, the distress signal is given.
05:48 The distress signal was not sent back to Iran.
05:50 This is one thing.
05:52 The other thing is that the situation in the region is already in a state.
05:57 Israel has been a belligerent since last year.
06:01 It has created a disturbance in the entire region.
06:04 Iran is the only country that has not only responded to Israel and sent missiles and drones to them.
06:14 It has taken a very hard stance.
06:17 Other countries have also taken a hard stance.
06:21 The second thing is that the nuclear enrichment and weapon gradery were also happening during the era of President Ibrahim Raisi.

06:46 He was a prosecutor since 1981.

07:25 He was accompanied by three helicopters.
07:30 Other important people of his cabinet were also there.
07:32 He was also accompanied by other foreigners.
07:34 He was returning after completing this tour.
07:36 This sad incident took place on his return.
07:39 Many countries, including Russia, have cooperated.

08:07 It is said that this incident took place in the area of Azerbaijan in the east.
08:13 When the Iranian president was returning from Tabriz after the opening of the dam,
08:19 the foreign minister was also on the helicopter with the Iranian president.

08:35 It is said that the Iranian president is among the suspects of the Ayatollah Khamenei.
08:43 He was very close to him.

08:53 He wanted the Iranian policy to be maintained.
08:57 But internationally, especially in the United States,
08:59 there is a lot of pressure on Iran for nuclear deals.
09:05 Israel is being brutally attacked in Palestine.
09:15 Israel responded to the attack by the Iranian embassy.

09:37 Both countries said that they have good relations with each other.
09:44 They also said that they want to continue their trade and play together.
09:49 They said that they have mutual interests.
