Helicopter of Iran’s late President Raisi crashed due to weather conditions, Fars says

DUBAI: The helicopter crash in which Iran’s late President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in May was caused by weather conditions and the aircraft’s inability to handle the weight it was carrying, Iran’s semi-official news agency reported on Wednesday (Aug 21), citing a security source informed of the final investigation results.
The communications centre of the Armed Forces General Staff, responsible for publishing information on the crash investigation, said the report was “completely false”, state media reported.
A preliminary report by Iran’s military had said in May that no evidence of foul play or an attack had been found during the investigation.
