  • Helicopter Carrying Iran’s President Suffers ‘Hard Landing,’ Rescue Underway: State Media
    Time, Sunday - 05/19/2024 - 11:38 AM

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates— A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country’s foreign minister and other officials apparently crashed in the mountainous northwest reaches of Iran on Sunday, sparking a massive rescue operation in a fog-shrouded forest as the public was urged to pray. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The likely crash came as Iran under Raisi and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei launched an unprecedented drone-and-missile attack on Israel last month and has enriched uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels. Iran has also faced years of mass protests against its Shiite theocracy over an ailing economy and women’s rights — making the moment that much more sensitive for Tehran and the future of the country as the Israel-Hamas war inflames the wider Middle East. Raisi was traveling in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province.

For decades, Republicans were all for drop boxes and wanted them in every county.
