Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi was confirmed dead by state media on Monday morning, after a helicopter he was traveling in alongside Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and seven others.
Raisi, 63, and the seven other victims crashed in foggy conditions in the country’s remote northwest on Sunday.
The president’s death comes just weeks after Iran launched a drone and missile attack on Israel in response to a deadly strike on its diplomatic compound in Damascus.
In the wake of Raisi’s death, Vice President Mohammad Mokhber has been appointed as acting president.
