Ebrahim Raisi was found dead a day after his helicopter disappeared. He is believed to have died in a helicopter crash in the mountainous region of the country.

Along with Raisi, Iran's foreign minister, officials and bodyguards also died in the helicopter crash.

“The servant of the Iranian nation, Ayatollah Ebrahim Raisi, reached the highest level of martyrdom in the service of the people,” state television said on Monday, with the Mehr news agency also saying he had died .

Iranian authorities had been searching for the missing helicopter since Sunday afternoon.

According to reports, nine people, including Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, died in the accident, which occurred in the Iranian province of East Azerbaijan.

Iranian media reported that there was no sign the passengers were alive.

Ebrahim Raisi was flying in a convoy of three helicopters; only two reached their destination. He visited the country's northwestern province to inaugurate a dam project with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Jolfa.

Raisi, a staunch conservative, was to succeed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is around 80 years old.

Ebrahim Raisi had been president of Iran since 2021. He succeeded moderate President Hassan Rouhani.

Under his rule, massive civil protests erupted across the country following the death of Iranian-Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini, who was arrested for flouting Iran's dress code for women.

In his last speech on Sunday, Ebrahim Raïssi reiterated his support for Gaza, attacked by Israel since last October.
