Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country’s foreign minister and several other officials were found dead on Monday, hours after their helicopter crashed, state media reported.
Many people say many things. Uninformed takes from randos on the internet shouldn’t be taken seriously and responded to by government officials, regardless of nationality.
If the crash were caused by a mechanical problem, the embargo didn’t cause it. It would be much more the fault of the iranian maintance agency who let the helicopter fly despite its issues. If critical parts are unavailable, the safe choice is to ground the helicopter.
We can’t be sure until more is known, but this seems much more likely to be controlled flight into terrain. It was foggy in the mountains. Crashes like this do happen even in the US.
