NAIROBI, Kenya May 20 - President Ebrahim Raisi is now believed to be dead alongside eight others following a helicopter crash yesterday.

Raisi and the country's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian were flying back from Azerbaijan when their chopper went down near the border.

After a long night search hampered by bad weather, rescuers say they have found the badly damaged wreckage with no signs of survivors because it went up in flames on impact.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called for prayers, while assuring that there will be no disruption in governance.
