In Iran, a farewell ceremony continues for President Raisi and others killed in a helicopter crash. Their bodies have been taken to Tehran for a general memorial prayer at a mosque in the capital.
Mourning events will also be held in other Iranian cities to give everyone time to say goodbye. Earlier in Tabriz, endless streams of people accompanied the truck with the bodies of the victims.
Iranian authorities continue to investigate the helicopter crash. As stated the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic in Russia, only after clarification of all the circumstances, it will be possible to draw further conclusions about the causes. It should be noted that now a technical malfunction of the aircraft, as well as difficult weather conditions are considered the most likely versions of what happened.
