Not my claim junior, the EU commissioner for crisis management Janez Lenarcic explained what happened.

"European Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarcic said that the EU activated its Copernicus Emergency Management Service "rapid response mapping service" at Iran's request"

Sore one.


Nowhere does that say that "the Europeans found him". Sit down ^^


In any such cases it's normal that other countries offer assistance it's completely normal.

Once again here's the issue (although I doubt you'll ever understand it)

Rescue crews haven't yet located the crash site of the helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the head of Iran’s Red Crescent Society, Pir-Hossein Koulivand, told Iranian state TV IRINN.

Earlier, a military commander said the aircraft's exact location had been detected through a signal from the helicopter and a mobile phone of a crew member, according to state news agency IRNA.

The crews are still searching around where the signals were detected, Koulivand said.

Harsh weather conditions and heavy fog have made the search for the crash site very difficult. It is now just after 1 a.m. local time in the remote, mountainous province.

Iranian President Raisi feared dead as helicopter wreckage found

DUBAI, May 20 (Reuters) - Hopes are fading that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister have survived a helicopter crash in mountainous terrain and icy weather, an Iranian official said on Monday after search teams located the wreckage.
"President Raisi's helicopter was completely burned in the crash ... unfortunately, all passengers are feared dead," the official told Reuters.
Rescue teams fought blizzards and difficult terrain through the night to reach the wreckage in East Azerbaijan province in the early hours of Monday.
“We can see the wreckage and the situation does not look good,” the head of Iran’s Red Crescent, Pirhossein Kolivand, told state TV.

I wonder if any foul play expected? I mean I get it most likely happened due to the weather conditions but stil a valid ask considering the country

I'd say unlikely. In 1994 a chinook carrying multiple high ranking MI5 agents and experts on the troubles in Northern Ireland crashed in much the same conditions. Heavy fog and low altitude high speed flight.

More likely that Iran has relatively poorly maintained aircraft by comparison considering decades of US sanctions.

There will always be suspicion. Less than a month after launching a massive strike against Israel? Years of supplying Russia with Shahed drones.
Facilitating chants of death to America.

Hardly the most popular scumbag in the region.

Reading that the aircraft was purchased before the Iranian revolution in 79.
Flying the president and foreign minister on a 45 year old craft is crazy.
Also reflects how unimportant the president is in Iran.
