A HELICOPTER carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi suffered a “hard landing” amid poor weather in rugged territory today, Iranian state media reported.
Mr Raisi was travelling in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province with Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, the provincial governor and other officials.
Mr Raisi had visited the border with Azerbaijan earlier to inaugurate a dam, the third the two nations have built on the Aras river, with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. The visit came despite chilly relations between the two nations.
