Authorities lost contact with Raisi's helicopter; rescue teams still en route to site -- Iranian reports

Authorities have lost contact with the helicopter in which Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was traveling, according to the Iranian Fars news agency.

Initial reports indicate that a helicopter carrying the Iranian president crash-landed.

The two other helicopters in the convoy, which were carrying ministers and officials, arrived at their destination safely, Tansim reports.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and Seyyed Mohammad-Ali Al-Hashem, the Friday prayer imam of Tabriz, were said to have been on the helicopter with Raisi, the report adds.
