No Survivors[edit]

CNN is reporting that "No survivors" were found at the crash site. They are citing both IRINN and Mehr News. https://www.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/raisi-iran-president-helicopter-crash/h_84e1c9ad10338418fd5540d8f7723cc6

  • Brother you just added a new section instead of adding a topic, moreover I think that this should be added.

Well-wishes and offers of support came from Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif, President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and the foreign ministries of Afghanistan, China, Kuwait, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

Adding China to the list of foreign ministeries at the end of the International section. [1] EZJC (talk) 04:07, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance of Biden and Albanese mentions[edit]

I must question the relevance of the section reading "The U.S. State Department stated that it was closely monitoring the situation, and president Joe Biden was briefed about the incident.[1] Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese also said that he was monitoring the situation.[2]". To me it doesn't seem like a particularly relevant reaction (particularly when compared to the far-more substantial responses quoted from for-example the Italian prime minister or Lithuanian foreign minister) and if anything seems like a statement of the obvious (given the article describes the disappearance and death of the president of a nation of ninety-million people).

I think it is indeed outdated, having been placed when Raisi was still missing. Borgenland (talk) 09:26, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That may well be the reason and if so I think strengthens the case for removing the sentences. Looking at this as a disinterested party it feels like the only reason those mentions would be kept is to have a reason to mention Biden and Albanese in the article when they are only tangentially relevant at most.

I agree with the previous comments, this sentence does little to improve the article and adds no relevant information. I support removal of the sentence. Jurisdicta (talk) 18:37, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jurisdicta: I've already removed the sentence on 23 May 2024 at 10:13 (UTC).

I've removed the sentence as soon as I saw this discussion originally discussed by HumanBodyPiloter5. I do agree with the others that the sentence was irrelevant and was out of date (was before Raisi's death was confirmed, early on 19 May 2024). PEPSI697 (talk) 08:31, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

9th passenger[edit]

A small selection of news outlets reported on a 9th passenger with the name "Kruchev" [2] [3]

While not the most neutral source, there is a video from Warthog Defense [4] that suggests they are a Russian national whose involvement is being covered up. Perhapes it is nothing, but in the interest of factuality it may be worth finding where these names originally were introduced. 185.67.234.25 (talk) 09:07, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There was a 9th passenger who is suspected to threaten helicopter passengers . Al Hassan jumped down that’s why he didn’t burn . Others killed by bomb in pilot cabin . Hrazavi8881 (talk) 03:37, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
