The funeral ceremonies for Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country’s foreign minister and others who were found dead at the site of a helicopter crash are being held today in Tabriz.

Five days of national mourning have been declared by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei following the crash.

The deaths of President Ebrahim Raisi and minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were confirmed by officials after rescuers found the chopper's burned wreckage on Monday morning, more than 12 hours after it came down in bad weather.
