“President Raisi, the foreign minister, and all the passengers in the helicopter were killed in the crash,” the senior Iranian official said, asking not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Iran’s Mehr news agency confirmed the deaths, reporting that “all passengers of the helicopter carrying the Iranian president and foreign minister were martyred”.
