This is direct quote from IRNN’s 3/4th (the scribblings bottom of the screen).
I will keep this thread updated if IRNN says anything else.

Some semantics:
- They did not say it ‘fell’ or ‘impacted’ or most importantly, ‘crashed’. They said ‘landed harshly’.
- By ‘said’, I mean they ‘wrote’. The only source is IRNN 3/4th.
- They use the word ‘saaneheh’ to refer to the accident, this is an Arabic loanword that is generally used to refer to such accident. Think, 9/11 is a ‘saaneheh’. Warning: This is an Arabic loanword, in Persian, Arabic loanwords are ‘false friends’, they don’t mean what they mean in Arabic.
Update from the 3/4th:
- Rain, fog, etc is making the rescue effort extremely difficult.
- The Red Crescent has sent 40 teams.
Update 2:
- The Red Crescent cannot find the crash site (they’re still not saying ‘crash’, they use the aforementioned word).
Update 3:
- The Red Crescent (read the comments if you don’t know who they are) says because of ‘extremely harsh weather’, the possibility of an ‘aerial search’ is nil.
Update 4:
- Secretary of the State (I’m using American equivalents because I believe most people here are from there) said that ‘Due to bad weather, the Helicopter carrying the president had to land harshly’; he later added ‘The weather makes rescue effort extremely difficult’.
Update 5:
- IRNN shows videos from Jolfa, here’s a screencap: https://imgur.com/a/XqEDgGo
If you’re wondering wth ‘The Red Crescent’ is, it’s just The Halal version of The Red Cross. I think they are cohorts. They work together. The fact that The Red Cross has to go find the carcass of your fucking president instead of an internal rescue organization is pathetic. I mean there is one (the ‘Emdaad’, who once took 40 minutes to come rescue a hiker who had an accident in a peak that is — I swear, is in the middle of the city, like, it’s more like a theme park than a mountain).
