"We hope that Almighty God will return the respected and honorable president and his companions to the arms of the nation. Everyone should pray for the health of this group of servants. If the people of Iran do not worry, there will be no disruption in the work of the country," ayatollah Khamenei said as cited by Iranian media.
"Today, after bidding a friendly farewell to the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, we were profoundly troubled by the news of a helicopter carrying the top delegation crash-landing in Iran. Our prayers to Allah Almighty are with President Ebrahim Raisi and the accompanying delegation. As a neighbor, friend, and brotherly country, the Republic of Azerbaijan stands ready to offer any assistance needed," Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said on X.
"The president and his companions were returning in several helicopters. One of the helicopters made a hard landing due to weather conditions," Vahidi said on state TV.
