Iran's Tasnim news agency said that after communications with the chopper carrying the Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, one of the passengers on board was able to make contact "and therefore it seems there were no casualties." Earlier state TV said emergency teams were rushing to the scene after a chopper carrying the president made a 'hard landing' in the province of East Azerbaijan.
