Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, seen as a potential successor to supreme leader ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed when his helicopter crashed in poor weather in mountains near the Azerbaijan border.

It is utterly rubbish to blame someone else for your own shortcomings. Iran had the support from Turkey China and Russia and others.

[theclown]

What??? I thought Iran said sanctions couldn't stop them????

[crystelluke]

Building missiles and not helicopters?? Insane

[pogi]

I'm so sad. The Ayatollah is not with him during the crash.

[nigahnugget]

Please pray for the trees, plants and animal habitat that were destroyed from this incident.

Why to use so old US made helicopter ? But the primary reason for the crash was dense fog. Pilot also may be blamed for the crash as other two helicopters landed safely in that foggy situation.

[Ruggedcross]

If they are so dependent on US why always wage animosity with it.

[acersin]

Blames the U.S about not having the proper maintenance but then still flys it, why don’t they go purchase helicopters from china or Russia 🤡🤣

[jenniferwhittie]

Why is America always blamed, lay the blame where it belongs IRAN a nation celebratin a death

[mzymnzl]

People who say how strong Iran is and how they will destroy Israel, with what exactly?

[rusoviljohn]

The news channel should not vomit out only have some logic. Blaming others for their old helicopter doesn't make sense

[swapshots]

They can build missiles but not helicopters?

[Serendipity]

😂😂😂😂 I think God can be to blame even he was sick of these murders...

[ryangreen]

Blame your own country for not building your own helicopter.

[shahkamkhuklum]

Dont blame to US instead held foggy responsible for this untowards incident..

[merenimchns]

Muslim country knows how to blame others

[darylslack]

They told Biden about it, then explained what a helicopter was.

[vipulgupta]

Why couldn't they purchase a helicopter from Russia. This is so absurd.

[bryanross]

Can't find parts don't they have ebay?

[chrisschude]

The question is how stupid is Iran and its president for flying a fifty year-old chopper that has sanctioned parts on it????They know the sanctions exist and why didn't Russia supply a new chopper to their "friends?"
