A The investigation into the accident has been “completely concluded,” Fars said, citing a security source.
“Security and intelligence agencies have concluded their detailed investigations and it is absolutely certain that what happened was an accident,” the same source highlighted.
According to the news agency, the investigation attributes the accident to bad weather conditions and the helicopter’s inability to gain altitude, loaded with more passengers than required by safety protocols.
There were two more passengers on board than expected, according to the investigation.
The General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces “vehemently denied” the information provided by the news agency about the overload of the device.
“What is referred to in the Fars information about the presence of [mais] “The claim that two people were in the helicopter, in violation of safety protocols, is completely false,” the General Staff said in a statement released on the Iranian state television website.
Iranian forces also warned the media against “publishing information relating to defense and security.”
The investigation ruled out, according to Fars, the possibility of “blocking and attacking the electronic systems” of the device.
“No traces of chemical agents or harmful substances were found during the investigation,” the agency added.
In May, the Iranian military also said it had found no evidence of criminal activity that could have caused the downing of the plane, which was carrying the president and seven other people, including his foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
The late president, 63, was returning from the inauguration of a dam on the border with Azerbaijan when his helicopter crashed on May 19 in the country’s mountainous northwest, in heavy rain and fog.
The Iranian Parliament today gave its vote of confidence to all the ministers proposed by the new President of Iran, the reformist Masud Pezeshkian, for a national unity government with conservative and moderate figures.
The current head of state was elected on July 5 in the second round of the presidential elections held after the death of Ebrahim Raisi.
Once the Council of Ministers has been approved, Pezeshkian now faces the challenge of governing the country when there are great national and international tensions, such as the population’s discontent due to the lack of freedoms and the poor economic situation, the conflict in Gaza, and the poor relationship with the West and Europe due to his support for Russia.
