Several leaders in Asia and Europe offered their support and prayers to Iran as the country continues rescue operations for a helicopter that crashed while carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Sunday.
Turkey’s disaster and emergency management agency on Sunday said it would send 32 mountaineer search-and-rescue employees and six vehicles to Iran to assist in the operations. A group of other employees are also standing by as needed, the agency said on the social platform X.
Armenia and Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministries separately said they were prepared to provide support.
Janez Lenarcic, the EU commissioner for crisis management, said on X the body is using its satellite mapping service in the reported area of the crash.
A spokesperson for the Iraqi prime minister confirmed the country’s Interior Ministry directed resources from the Iraqi Red Crescent Society to be available to assist in the search, CNN reported.
