On Monday, Iranian Vice President Mohsen Mansouri confirmed media reports that incumbent President Ebrahim Raisi and his delegation, including Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, died in a helicopter crash in northwestern Iran.

On Sunday, Iranian media reported that a helicopter carrying Raisi, Amir-Abdollahian and their companions made a hard landing in northwestern Iran. The delegation was on its way back from a visit to Azerbaijan.First Vice President of Iran Mohammad Mokhber will serve as interim president after Raisi's death until a new presidential election is held by a special council.
