ByBernama

TEHRAN, May 20: The Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) President, Pir-Hossein Kolivand, says that no survivors have been found at the site where the helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi crashed in northwest Iran.

“No trace of survivors has been seen after the discovery of the site of the crashed helicopter,” the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) quoted Kolivand early on Monday in an interview with the Tasnim news agency.

Kolivand revealed earlier in the day that the site of the crash involving President Raisi and senior officials accompanying him had been found after hours of extensive searching in a mountainous region in the province of East Azerbaijan.

Raisi’s helicopter crashed on Sunday afternoon in the Varzaqan region as he was returning with Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and several others from a ceremony to inaugurate a dam on Iran’s border with Azerbaijan. -TVS
