According to IRNA, Pir-Hossein Kolivand stated early on Monday in an interview, “No trace of survivors has been seen after the discovery of the site of the crashed helicopter.”
Kolivand revealed earlier in the day that the crash site involving President Raisi and senior officials had been found after hours of extensive search in a mountainous region of East Azerbaijan province.
