Ebrahim Raisi, Iran’s president, dies in helicopter crash aged 63
Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi has died after a helicopter carrying him and other officials crashed in a mountainous and forested area of the country in poor weather.
The 63-year-old, a figure representing conservative and hardline factions in Iranian politics, was president for nearly three years and appeared on track to run for re-election next year.
Al Jazeera’s Resul Serdar looks back at his life.

Out of three helicopters, 2 flew back fine, but 1 crashed with high officials on board. It all sounds pretty fishy, like sabotage.
