We are deeply saddened by the tragic news of the helicopter crash that resulted in the loss of the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, and their companions.

During this challenging period, we offer our heartfelt condolences to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, His Excellency Sayyed Ali Khamenei, as well as to the leadership, government, and people of Iran, and the families affected by this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with them all. May God grant solace and peace to everyone affected, and may He bless the departed souls with His mercy.

The passing of President Raisi is an immense tragedy and a profound loss for the Islamic Republic of Iran, its people, and its friends. Neverthless, we have faith that the noble people of Iran and the Islamic Republic will overcome this immense loss. May God Almighty provide assistance and protection to all, and may the memory of the departed be blessed.
