There were three helicopters in this convoy, two of which were carrying ministers and officials, and they arrived at their destination safely.
Seyyed Mohammad-Ali Al-Hashem, Tabriz’s Friday Prayer Imam, and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were also reportedly on the helicopter with the president.
