Death of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi confirmed after helicopter crash
“This will create disruptions in the country.”
Ebrahim Raisi was being "groomed" to become the next supreme leader of Iran, but his death in a helicopter crash brings questions about who will eventually succeed Ali Khameni, says American-Iranian journalist Negar Mortazavi.

Obviously Mossad deployed thr Ark of the Covenant to blast the helicopter with a divine laser.
The cause is quite simple: spatial disorientation as the copter pilot flew into thick fog. It's the same kind of fog that Kobe Bryant's pilot flew into, got lost, could not see left/right/up/down, and crashed into a mountain.

That Bell 212 helicopter can fly in fog perfectly well, and 100% for sure the pilot was competent. But what it can't do is fly on one engine at that weight at that altitude. I know, I've flown Bell 212's for years. If an engine failed the other engine just gets them to the scene of the accident.

warning The day before the helicopter crash, Iran's stock market fell sharply. A few days ago, a meeting between Iranian and American officials was held in the UAE. Before this helicopter crashed, they knew that this would happen and the Iranian stock market went into a free fall. All these events are not accidental...

You can't jump to that conclusion. The accident site is about 10,000 feet elevation. The Bell 212 can't fly at that height and weight on one engine. If an engine failed the other engine does not have enough power to stay airborne and a crash landing in the mountains is inevitable.
