Bad Weather Or Worn Out Parts? Ex-Iran Minister Blames US Sanctions For Raisi Bell 212 Chopper Crash
Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi died after a helicopter carrying him and other officials crashed in a mountainous terrain in heavy fog on May 19. Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi and his companions were riding a US-manufactured Bell 212 helicopter when it made a “hard landing.” Apart from the President, the Iranian foreign minister and East Azerbaijan Province Governor were also onboard. The helicopter was manufactured by Bell Textron, an American aerospace manufacturer headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. Watch the video to find out more.

I highly doubt the pilot was 1. instrument rated for flying in IMC conditions 2. The chopper was even equipped with a GPWS or TAWS system that would have warned the pilot he was too low. Looks like they flew directly into the side of the mountain. Pilot negligence appears to be the probable cause here … nobody else’s.

This is getting so stupid. All that happened is that pilot got disoriented couldn’t see terrain because of weather and crashed, or did a ‘hard landing!’
Iran blames US which made the helicopter in such a way that it will fall from the sky in 50 years. Iran is also blaming Allah who made the foggy weather to kill the president. And the lest Iran is blaming Israel for shooting down the chopper without any bullets. This reflects the the dynamics of the Iranians brains.
Blame everyone but their own careless operation or maintenence. Even Israel and America.
Strange .... Iran can actually buy new modern helicopters from Russia or China. I am sure they will be more than willing to sell it to Iran.

Those who are commenting about Raisi s traveling in an old copter: He never feared death and death is a transition for him and unlike cowards who spent million dollars on body guards, planes and security
Surface to air missle in the fog nobody could see.
All these ballistic missiles and drones, but cannot manufacture their own replacement choppers?
why operating the plane if the sale of spare parts is banned . ridiculous!

Choppers are way more Dangerous than planes especially in bad weather. China and Russian military both have helicopters. I'm guessing they are not supplied by the US. Why didn't Iran just buy one from either of those countries.
Karma is Real..
Wait, I thought sanctions don't work. Which is it guys?
Can't blame sanctions as it's not the only means , or helo , of transportation!!! That's a bad decision to fly it if it's not up to date! If the parts store has no brakes for my car , do I drive without brakes , crash and blame the parts store🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️I'm sorry for the loss of the Iranian President and Prime Minister and the others in the crash🙏🙏The second bad decision was flying in a fog like what was present then.
Dont blame the helicopter,the weather was bad
This Israel is out. This is pure fog. Iran must strive to buy new choppers with new technology.
Raisi was cursed >>>> It had nothing to do with the chopper. The incident unfolded in the Dizmar forests, notorious for their bizarrely rapid fog formations. Local lore whispers of nights so shrouded in fog that ghostly screams echo through the trees-just superstitious nonsense, of course. Moreover, Iran, along with neighboring countries like Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the UAE, has been grappling with an extraordinary cold snap and torrential rains, leading to severe flooding. Such weather only intensifies the forest's penchant for spawning thick fogs. Here's what went down: No sooner had the helicopter entered the area than a dense fog bank enveloped the region within minutes. At such altitudes, visibility can shrink to less than a meter, essentially rendering you blind in flight. Given their proximity to the Azerbaijan border-a zone Iran deems sensitive due to Israeli interests-the pilots, tasked with transporting VIPs, kept radio transmissions sparse to avoid revealing their whereabouts. Forced to rely solely on visual navigation, the pilot decided to descend, hoping for clearer sightlines. But in a sudden, tragic twist, the chopper collided with a mountain. The ensuing explosion claimed Raisi, the Prime Minister, and others, adding a grim chapter to the legends of the Dizmar woods.
Simply pilot error, couldn't even walk in that weather, much less fly a helicopter in the mountains in that kind of weather.
Ah typical blaming all your issues on US and Israel.
Iran use american helicopters ,Fighter jets,planes😂😂
If Israel can manipulate weather and move mountains, that would be something.
If kid is born at their home its US mistake😂
They still believe in US Products. even they still maintain F-14 Tomcats.

Even in INDIA , our highest ranking military general CDS Bipin Rawat was martyred in a helicopter crash and that helicopter was the most modern helicopter available now with two engines. But here he was killy by BJP rss conspiracy because bjp was introducing new law agniveer policy for new army selection process and CDS was fully against it and even said till I am alive I would not let this shitty policy come into effect.

helicopters do not fly at such hights that regular planes do...the wreakage if caused by malfuntion of the chopper will be very different than if it was hit by a missle/rocket....forensics of the wreakage and body post mortems (if any left ) should be able to evaluate the cause.....however when Iran is in a Total War and has Enemy surrunding Iran a Helicopter Ride was a foolish venture
A thought from the sidelines: Maybe Iran's aviation industry which specializes in UAV's used in many war zones should switch its focus to "homemade helicopters" instead! Hahahahaha! InshÁllah! Hahahaha!
It was his choice to get in that helicopter and it was God's choice to rip it out the sky
If the US didn't give you any spare for that helicopter 1, why you didn't use other helicopter like Russia or China helicopter still you use with such no maintenance helicopter to carry a leader and 2ndly why you don't use other ally country to buy a spare part for you from the US and utilise it any way GOD put his president soul in heaven.
