Iran's Raisi Killed in Helicopter Crash
According to state media, Iran's President Raisi died in a helicopter crash.
Raisi's presence on the crashed helicopter is considered verified by officials, despite not being explicitly stated in the state media report.
Ebrahim Raisi, a top contender to succeed the nation's supreme leader, served as Iran's president until his untimely demise on Sunday.
Raisi, who won a historically uncompetitive election in 2021, was a close associate of Khamenei and a potential successor.
Ahmad Vahidi, who is accused of orchestrating the 1994 AMIA bombing, is being investigated in connection with the crash, which officials suspect was not an accident.
