      Not really. Helicopters crash often, especially in terrible weather conditions, which was the case.

        Especially if it’s a badly maintained Soviet era pile of junk.

          It was a US made Bell 212

            That would be Soviet era, and they’re likely not getting the US-made parts they need to properly maintain it.

            Edit: And now Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s former foreign minister, is echoing what I said, blaming sanctions.

              Ah yes, the famous Soviet era of the United States. How could I forget?

    I wonder if Khamenei senses the end is near and is clearing the path for succession of his son, Mojtaba. Raisi was the other likely candidate to become Supreme Leader.

      He gets to blame it on the Israelis.

        Not even the Iranian government is doing that.
