Mehr News Agency says Raisi, Amirabdollahian killed in crash

The semi-official news agency reports that the Iranian president, foreign minister and other occupants of the helicopter, including East Azerbaijan Province Governor Malek Rahmati, have been “martyred” (killed).

There is still no official confirmation that Raisi is dead, but medics have said that they found “no signs” of life at the crash site.

Al Jazeera's Ali Hashem is in Doha and Resul Serdar is in Tehran for the latest.
