Iranian state media said that Hossein Amir Abdollahian, the foreign minister, and President Ebrahim Raisi were pronounced dead in a helicopter crash on Monday.
Other top officials were on the chopper, but as of 8 a.m. local time, no survivors had been located at the crash site, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency, which is sponsored by the state.
The Iranian Red Crescent Society's president had earlier told IRNA that rescue and search crews had located Raisi's downed helicopter. As Raisi, Amir Abdollahian, and other top officials were returning from an event near Iran's border with Azerbaijan, their aircraft crashed in a mountainous region of northwest Iran.
Ahmad Vahidi, Iran's interior minister, confirmed the "hard landing" of the president on Sunday.
