Helicopter carrying Iran's president suffers a 'hard landing,' state TV says, and rescue is underway

@iran Search abandoned, multiple ambulances dispatched.

If Raisi is dead (he probably is) If he is dead, power will be transferred to VP Mohammad Mokhber, but new elections must be called within the next 50 days. But Iranians don’t believe they can change their government much through elections.

If the Iranian authorities or IRGC find evidence linking Israel to the helicopter crash, then watch out

@iran the new FM probably, if Amirabdullahian's death is confirmed is Ali Bagheri Kani.
