Iranians pay last respects to president killed in helicopter crash
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTens of thousands of Iranians have gathered to mourn president Ebrahim Raisi and seven members of his entourage who were killed in a helicopter crash on a fog-shrouded mountainside in the northwest.
Waving Iranian flags and portraits of the late president, mourners set off from a central square in the northwestern city of Tabriz, where Raisi was headed when his helicopter crashed on Sunday.
They walk behind a vehicle carrying the coffins of Raisi and his seven aides.
