Iran’s investigation into the helicopter crash that claimed the life of former President Ebrahim Raisi has concluded that the crash was caused by adverse weather conditions. The helicopter, carrying 63-year-old Raisi and his team, crashed in foggy weather on a mountainside in northern Iran, resulting in the deaths of the president and seven others, including his Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian. The crash report cited “complex climatic and atmospheric conditions” in the region during the spring as the primary cause of the accident.

The report also ruled out any signs of sabotage in the helicopter’s parts and systems. Previous speculations about criminal activity or the helicopter’s inability to ascend with additional passengers were refuted in the report. Ebrahim Raisi, a hardline politician, was elected as Iran’s president in 2021 and was considered a natural successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
