Raisi’s death was further confirmed by the state television on Monday which broadcasted that, “The servant of the Iranian nation, Ayatollah Ebrahim Raisi has achieved the highest level of martyrdom whilst serving the people”.
However, a now-viral video showed as the body of the late leader was moved out of the crash scene.
@DOAM on X captioned the video, “Rescue teams retrieve the bodies of the Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Abdollahian, and their accompanying delegation after reaching the site of their helicopter crash.”
