Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country’s foreign minister and several other officials were found dead on Monday, hours after their helicopter crashed, state media reported.
“One of the main culprits of yesterday’s tragedy is the United States, which … embargoed the sale of aircraft and aviation parts to Iran and does not allow the people of Iran to enjoy good aviation facilities,” Zarif said. “These will be recorded in the list of US crimes against the Iranian people.”
Of course lol. I wonder how long it took him to find a way to blame it on the US.
“aboard the Bell helicopter, which Iran purchased in the early 2000s”
If Iran was so concerned about the safety, they could have easily used a Russian helicopter which they could get parts and maintain properly. MI-8 are a dime a dozen.

They could have had the best helicopter in the world. They still shouldn’t have been flying it in those weather conditions.
No doubt, but Iran can’t blame the USA for a helicopter it acquired more than 24 years ago as being the only option for presidential transport.
It’s the only one they have with comfy seats and a mini bar
Maybe they could have spent less on their nuclear weapons programs and more on helicopter programs if they really want working helicopters.
Have they tried not being assholes? That would help things.
Sorry Iran, the US only supports one asshole in the Middle East and it ain’t you.
The US supports a LOT of assholes in the Middle East
Good, the embargo is working.
Really well too killed someone important somehow I guess
