A helicopter with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on board had to make an emergency landing in the west of the country on Sunday, state media reported. It was initially unclear whether Raisi was injured in the accident. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian was also reportedly on board. Some media reported a “hard landing,” others a “crash.” As a result, there is no precise information about the situation on the ground. There were accounts on social media that both the president and foreign minister were injured. Raisi was sworn in as Iran’s new president in August 2021.
