Iran's president is missing after a helicopter he was travelling in crashed - with sources in Tehran warning his life is in danger.

President Ebrahim Raisi was travelling in Iran's East Azerbaijan province near Jolfa, a city on the border with with the country of Azerbaijan when his helicopter came to the 'hard landing', state media initially reported.

Search and rescue teams have found the helicopter - with sources conflicting if this is true or not - but there has been no update on whether Raisi had been found.

State media blamed the accident on poor weather conditions and thick fog.

A Tehran official told Reuters that Mr Raisi's life is in danger - as is the life of Iran's foreign minister who was travelling with the president.

Rachel Johnson speaks to former British Ambassador to Iran Sir Richard Dalton - giving her all the latest on the story.

because youtube keep deleting my comment, this is tone down version of what I was trying to say. I’m Persian and I just say this he was responsible for many death and executions in 1980s and 99% of Persian are super happy and they want this kind of Hard landing for most of Iranian leader. Just feel bad for the Pilots
