Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has yet to be found, despite conflicting reports that the location where his helicopter went down had been found.
But those reports were quickly dismissed by the Iranian Red Crescent and the world continues watching Iranian emergency crews searching for Raisi in a remote area near the Dizmar Protected Area in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province where his helicopter went down, while the rest of the convoy continued.
