The helicopter crash that resulted in the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and seven others was attributed primarily to severe weather conditions, including thick fog, as confirmed by a final investigation report from Iran's Armed Forces. The report ruled out mechanical failure and sabotage, stating that the helicopter was in good condition and had followed its flight path until encountering sudden adverse weather. Raisi's death, occurring in May near the Azerbaijan border, has raised tensions in the region, with some celebrating his demise due to his controversial political legacy. The investigation concluded that there were no signs of foul play, and the military conducted extensive tests to ensure all systems were functioning prior to the crash. This incident marks a significant moment in Iranian politics as Raisi was viewed as a potential successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Following the tragedy, a three-day funeral was held, attended by supporters under heavy security.
