Russian citizens paid tribute to the late Iranian President Raisi and officials by laying flowers at Tehran’s Moscow Embassy. Sultan Khamzaev, a Russian State Duma deputy from Dagestan, joined in mourning, underscoring the robust alliance between Russia and Iran. Khamzaev emphasized shared challenges and a common adversary in the “united West,” praising Iran’s resilience in the face of prolonged sanctions. As news of the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of President Raisi and the Foreign Minister reverberated across the Middle East, Iran asserted that the incident was not a result of sabotage, attributing it to dense fog.
