Helicopter crash reported; Raisi (63) feared missing - Followers of Mullah hasten to offer prayers for their leader.
Despite the passing of several hours, search parties were unsuccessful in locating any signs of the missing helicopter or its passengers.
The issue at hand: the miserable weather conditions, with fog so dense it's hard to make out anything within a short distance - the uneven landscape only adds to the difficulties.
An anonymous Iranian official spoke to Reuters, revealing that the chopper had met with an accident. He commented on the predicament, "We're still holding on to hope, but the details received from the crash site are particularly alarming."
As rescuers composed of 40 teams with ambulances and emergency vehicles scoured the northern region of the nation for the missing helicopter, loyal followers of the Mullah regime were urged by the regime and Iranian media to partake in prayers for their president.
They were summoned by the government and Iranian media sources. Snippets published by state-run news outlets displayed Iranians hurrying to the country's mosques. They offered their prayers, accompanied by devotional chants.
In Mashhad, President Raisi's hometown to the northeast, droves of devotees congregated at the central pilgrimage site, as highlighted by state radio on Sunday.
Similarly, devotees flocked to mosques in other localities, such as the devotionally significant town of Ghom.
An Iranian broadcaster aired the prayers and the search operation in unison - reminiscent of a sports broadcast.
Hamas, backers of Iran, also expressed their fervent requests for divine compassion and protection for the president, as conveyed by a Hamas spokesperson.
At present, there has been no news regarding Raisi's status. He lost his life in a mishap following a meeting with the neighboring country's president, Ilham Aliyev.
