President's Helicopter Experienced ‘Hard Landing’ Due to Adverse Weather Conditions: Minister #Iran's Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi, stated that President Raisi and his companions were aboard multiple helicopters on the return journey, one of which was forced to make a hard landing due to adverse weather conditions in the area. Discussing the helicopter incident in East Azerbaijan, Vahidi said, "Today, we had the inauguration (ceremony) of the Qiz Qalasi Dam with the presence of the Azerbaijani president. After that, the president, along with companions, were aboard multiple helicopters on the return journey, one of which was forced to make a hard landing due to adverse weather conditions in the area." He added that rescue teams have been dispatched to the area, but due to the foggy and challenging terrain of the region, it may take some time to reach the helicopter. "We have been in communication with the president's companions, but due to the complexity of the area, communication is somewhat challenging. We are awaiting the arrival of rescue teams at the scene of the incident and the helicopter's landing site to provide us with information," Vahidi stated.
