Thank you so much Al Jazeera for the great coverage of Late President Mr. Raisi's biography and the future of Iran. He will always be in our hearts and will be missed. My prayers, honour and respect for him. I love him for his heroism and standing with Palestinians freedom. ❤🌹

Iran may have suffered a great loss by losing President Raisi, but Iran's supreme leader Khamenei has produced hundreds of Raisi, and soon Iran will overcome all obstacles and stand tall again in the world court.

Late Sayeed Ibrahim Raisee and his foreign Minister was real Patriot and voice of Muslim Ummah. I think there will not create vacuum in power because thousands Raisee is in Iran.

First comment coming to my mind when I heard this: "Sounds convenient for some...."

[kevinwellwrought]

A helicopter without emergency signal transmitter!

[Dingo-wcmy]

"Specialized equipment"
... horses AND buggies utilized by rescue teams

And why would they put both on the same helicopter when there were three? Something seems off, but it could be human error, Ultimately.

For example- Japan war, Vietnam war, South Africa war, Syria war, Iraq war and leader Haddam Husain, Libya war and leader Gaddafi, Afghanistan war, now Ukraine war also Palestine war...
