As the deceased Iranian president was buried amid crowds in Iran, An uncensored video of the crash site where Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and several top officials died has been leaked online, sparking outrage and grief across the country.
The graphic footage shows the mangled remains of the helicopter, with body parts and personal belongings scattered among the wreckage in a remote, mountainous area of northwest Iran. President Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and seven others were killed when their helicopter suffered a “hard landing” on Sunday while returning from a visit to the border region with Azerbaijan. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but poor weather conditions and mechanical failure are suspected.
The leaked video has drawn widespread condemnation, with many Iranians expressing anger that such sensitive material was made public. The government has not officially commented on the leak, but has declared a five-day mourning period and appointed First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber as acting president.
The tragic incident comes at a tumultuous time for Iran, with ongoing protests over the economy and women’s rights, and heightened tensions with Israel following a recent drone and missile attack. As the country grapples with the loss of its hard-line leader, the leaked footage serves as a grim reminder of the human toll of the accident.
