- Iran's Supreme Leader has declared five days of national mourning following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash. The wreckage was found early on Monday. The foreign minister, one of the nine on board, has also been confirmed dead.
Al Jazeera’s Michael Appel reports on how events unfolded before and after the crash.
To discuss this further, Hamidreza Azizi, a Nonresident Fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs, joins from Berlin, and Alex Macheras, an independent aviation analyst and consultant, joins from Doha.

Al Jazeera is mourning more than Iran.
Search the pilots?
No we’re all mourning here don’t listen to you’re false western media that says otherwise
Allah Yarhamu
We are mourning more than Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera is a joke at this point.
Sad news … there was a spare seat on the helicopter 😢
YES joe biden SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THERE WITH HIM😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Lets all pray for the poor Helicopter.
My condolences to the helicopter.
Amen.
The headline is misleading. Ebrahim Raisi was responsible for the executions of so many Iranians, he was known as the "butcher of Tehran".
In the late 1980s and early 90s, between 4,000 and 5,000 political prisoners were executed thanks to Raisi and his so-called "death committee". Many were denied due process, and according to Amnesty International, the decisions on which prisoners to execute and which prisoners to spare were "arbitrary in the extreme".
More recently, in the nationwide protests following the senseless murder of a young Kurdish woman by Iran's notorious "morality police", Raisi oversaw the regime's violent crackdown of protests, in which many young Iranian women and men ... including actual kids ... were arrested, beaten, tortured, raped, and murdered -- for the simple act of speaking out against an oppressive, evil, theocratic regime.
So who exactly is mourning?!
Right
Only for netanyahu
Nah nobody likes this guy . @@KingluMing
But these journalists are sympathetic to these brutal rulers. They were being truthful in their headline.
He was only known as the "butcher of tehran" by colonial western media
Iranian prayers are answered!
one flat earther no more
Exactly! Now they can get back to work. Those carpets won't sell themselves, you know.
Western propganda says so, yes. In reality, most are mourrning his passing. That's why so many are praying and visibly upset.

And you are? The talk person for iranian people?just a brainwashed outsider.. Who gave you the right to speak for iranians?
The Iranian people are not mourning - they're rejoicing!
I think so
Oh yah
Do you live there

Amén to that.
Rejoicing for what??? As if another one like him won't succeed
Iranian women are celebrating in silence yes there is justice in the world
Not all but the Feminists.
It is only the feminists celebrating and the 6 who protested against the regime and the BBC made it look like there were lots of women protesting
Daily Mail is real
@@leonardo__dicaprio calm down ma'am.

Please stop saying Iran mourns. I begin to dislike aljazira. Only Iranian authorities and their families mourn. Not Iranian people
Please stop pretending to be an Iranian.
Go back to Germany or 'INDIA SUPER CLEAN'.
I am IRANian citizen and i am mourning. DO NOT speak for me. Speak only for yourself kharkosseh

no
Yes
I am a Zionist but that’s beside the point. He executed thousands of Iranians that he said were a threat to the regime. He killed women for being “indecent”. Come on man just look at the comment section… We used to have peace with the Persians before the ayatollah. The Iranian people are not happy about the people running their country.
Shut up baba
Iran is celebrating... please stop it...🤣🤣

@AliHachem-ht4pf u must be living in a different universe or be on the payroll of the ayatolahs. Raisi was responsible for killing thousands of innocent political prisoners in 1988.
I am a Commercial Pilot, Flight Instructor. It had nothing to do with the condition of the helicopter. It was the weather or an inside job.
You put too much trust in maintenance crews. One puff away from disaster.
Nothing to do with the helicopter being a fossil
Could have been the altimeter that 'failed'. In a fog situation that is crucial. He got up in the morning and wouldn't ever thought that would be the last. That is no away to die, for the family and friends, is a trauma the way their life ended. May they rest in peace.
Something not adding up here. They spoke to someone on the phone after the chopper went down.. where is that person.. this is either a purge or an assassination..
Or incompetance from a weak country...
He didn't make it, he was alive for 1 hour after the crash.
Indeed,
@@skarol420That is so far from reality...
Never seen anyone assassinated in a fog attack
As an Iranian, kinda intresting how EVERYONE has become an expert on how "the Iranian people" feel !!! Even within my own family & friends; some people mourn & cry; some people celebrate but most are simply neutral/slightly sad. May God have mercy on our souls💔....
PS: at the end of the day; my fellow Iranians! We are ONE FAMILY !!! Let's move on & work to reach a brighter tomorrow❤️🤍💚
Thank you for speaking out against Western shills
even inside a family some betray some others. we don't like each other
@@blueberry4082 extremism, hatred & bipolarism only worsen the situation. We need more moderate ideas & unity for the sake of a good future...
@@Ahmed_Reza_Mehrdad whatever. the truth is we hate each other. we don't even agree over the flag. some of us kill some others. relationship between Iranian men and women is terrible....
It’s not so much that others know what Iranians are feeling but about how different the state run media is showing sadness while the free world is showing celebrations. It’s the same thing in the USA too. The liberal media shows the exact opposite of what the conservative media shows. They all have an agenda
Many people are celebrating with fireworks in Iran.
Lol idiot
Did you see them?
If there's people celebrating, does that tell you that Iran is celebrating? Smol brainz
😂 Oh really? Less than 30% There just too noisy .. If you wanna khow the truth and the peaple that are now in the street for their president go and see Mashhad city Right now on media .. you'll see the true peaple
As vulgar as you westerners are,if it was Zelenski it would be flying the flag and a billion prayers..
Give me a break about maintenance. This is the president's aircraft, not some random aircraft.
hes a killer so why would he live,anyone who doesnt want eople to live wont leave,all the blood he shed is on his head...
people talking about someone killing him,have you all forgot Kobe briant was also in same position when the helicopter clashed due to bad weather?
did anyone said he was killed by someone.,you pple should rest and allow the wicked man to go and suffer eternally for his atrocities
@@michaelnedu5461Lol, very lgnorant comment. He and his country saved millions of lives. Unlike the cowaardly Saudi's, they actually supported many anti-coIoniaI groups. Just because his government was autocrtic does not change that.
@@michaelnedu5461He's done more for Africa and Asia than most world leaders. May he rest in peace.
It was Moossad I think. Or ClA. Most people know this is most likely.
You are wright about that. Its an aircraft which the president en senior officials are transported in. These are very looked after. Iran has a very big fleet of transport helicopters especially this one must be up to date and functional. Even though they have sanctions there is a big market for them for spear parts. Because the Bell 212 are all over the world. I don't like to speculate. But all high senior officials of iran are getting killed. 3 helicopters and the only one gets fallen of from the sky, in the very far border with Azerbaijan. Which is known there a groups or elements working with foreign agencies. Then in a time where there is big time war. Maybe i'm wrong, lets hope so.
RIP from India.🇮🇳🙏🏼😔
🪦💐Om Shanti.🙇🏻♂️
I see Iranian people celebrating not mourning. Doesn’t appear that Iranian people are sad about his death at all
Lies and pro islam propaganda here.
Fake comment
as an Iranian all of people i know are sad .
@@nambasasarah2725 no, true comment. Turn on a news channel that isn’t state run. People are rejoicing and lighting off fireworks in Iran and in front of Iranian embassies around the world. True Iranian people are glad to be free of the Islamic leaders
@@kimmy3469 you are the same people who said the libiyans are celebrating for the death of gadaffi. Now Iran thy aren't celebrating but mourning may raisi, Abdallah rest well may God bless, grant them jannat firdous. At least thy stood up for the oppression of Palestine,
Life is too short, he was talking about Dam without knowing next few moments he would be dead.
This is the most saddest part. Just thought the same.
So true. 😓 He rests in peace now.
A lot of people are talking about things that don’t know they’re about to be dead. Why would they put him in a 45 year old helicopter with no military escort? Kind of shady

After listening to the first interview... he makes it sound like even Iran itself could be suspect... essentially saying he wasn't that important? wth?
“I will bless those who bless you, And I. will curse him who curses you; And in you, all the. families of the earth shall be blessed.” - Genesis 12:3
Said The God of Israel.
This helicopter was manufactured 8 years before the Shah was overthrown. That's 53 years ago. And no spare available due to US embargo. What were they thinking still using that thing?
I'm sure they've used it many times before and it was safe, until yesterday.
Couldn't they buy a more recent one from Russia or China?
@@dadada486 That was what I was thinking
A Mi 8 or Mi 17 are available in a civil passenger transport version and the Kamov Ka 32 is also a civil version. The Mi 8 is the most build heli in the world.
Are you trying to say that somehow it was the USAs responsibility to ensure that he flew in a safer helicopter? Because that’s BS. He had millions of dollars to get himself a new ride at his own expense
@@kimmy3469 To whom are you asking?
Iran mourns? at least half of Iranians are not mourning.
Your not iranian so how would you know 😂
To be exact %90 percent don't even care and the 10 percent are the religious hardcore.

My condolences to the helicopter's family.
depending on equipments of enemies you dearly seek to destroy

May God rest his soul
This was Khamenei's conspiracy. Ibrahim Raisi wanted to become the next supreme leader after Khamenei but Khamenei did not want this, Khamenei wanted one of his sons to become the next supreme leader of Iran. That is the Game that is going on in Iran.👍

An old 40 years old helicopter without proper maintenance and spare parts combined with bad weather and probably pilot errors, a catastrophe is obvious.
I do not see any huge changes under the Mullah Regime. Yes, it will be harder to find a successor to Ali Khamenei. The post of a Supreme Leader is the real power in Iran. If anything should change than it starts from this position. The other posts are not that important.
If you are not well informed, i will tell you that IRAN just bought Sukhoi aircrafts from the great RUSSIA. IRAN will update its airforce. BUT don't forget that IRAN is decades under sanctions by america & europa. No country would have survived 45 years of brutal sanctions. But IRAN did. And IRAN built its technology

Two other helicopters landed safely and the one with high officials went down. And you think this was an accident. Who refilled the fuel tank of the helicopters in Azerbaijan. Do you know how much fuel a helicopter consumes. Like 15 gallons per hour. The fuel tanks of the helicopters had to be refilled. Someone allegedly sabotaged the helicopter of the high officials in Azerbaijan. When the truth comes out and Israel is behind this? They will admit that they are not the chosen people of God.
