Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani arrived in Tehran Wednesday at the head of a high-ranking delegation to participate in the farewell ceremony of the Iranian President and Foreign Minister.
In a meeting with the Leader of the Islamic Revolution on Wednesday morning, the Iraqi prime minister extended condolences to the Iranians on behalf of the Iraqi government and nation over the martyrdom of the late president and foreign minister of Iran.
The meeting took place after a glorious farewell ceremony was held for the helicopter crash martyrs in the capital city of Tehran.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian have martyred in a helicopter crash in the northwestern province of East Azarbaijan.
The helicopter carrying President Raeisi and his accompanying delegation crashed on Sunday in the Dizmar forest, nestled between the cities of Varzaqan and Jolfa in East Azarbaijan Province.
It was transporting Raeisi, Amir-Abdollahian, East Azarbaijan Governor Malek Rahmati, Friday Prayers leader of the city of Tabriz Seyyed Mohammad Ali Al-e Hashem, and a member of the president’s bodyguard team Mahdi Mousavi. The helicopter’s pilot, co-pilot, and crew were also among others on board the chopper.
President Raeisi and his accompanying delegation were returning from a ceremony to inaugurate a dam on the Aras River with Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev.
Following the tragic martyrdom of Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei declared a 5-day mourning in Iran.
