A video has been circulating claiming to show footage of the moment when the helicopter carrying the Iranian President crashed.

Axar.az reports that the video circulating on Telegram channels alleges that the footage of the incident is based on images from a US drone.

However, comparisons confirm that the currently circulating footage has no connection to the President's helicopter. It turns out that this particular video was shared on social media a year ago.

It should be noted that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Friday prayer leader of Tabriz Ayatollah Ali Al-Hashem, and the governor of East Azerbaijan province Malik Rahimov died in a helicopter crash in East Azerbaijan province on May 19th. The helicopter involved in the crash was a "Bell-212" manufactured in the US.
