The Iranian Armed Forces' General Staff released its inaugural report on the helicopter crash that claimed President Ebrahim Raisi's life and his delegation. Investigations into the incident, which occurred in northwestern Iran, revealed no signs of external impact on the wreckage. Search efforts, hampered by adverse weather conditions, persisted with the aid of drones. Further updates on pre-crash communications and contributing factors are anticipated.

As Israel increases its attacks in Lebanon, Iran's acting foreign minister, Ali Bagheri Kani, has arrived in Lebanon for his first official diplomatic visit since his predecessor's death in a helicopter crash last month. This visit comes at a crucial time as the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shiite terror group and ally of Iran, intensifies along the Lebanese-Israeli border.

Iran has vowed to fully support Hezbollah if Israel launches a large-scale attack on the Lebanese group. However, Iran's foreign affairs adviser Kamal Kharrazi emphasizes that Tehran is not seeking a regional war. This stance reflects Iran's complex role in the 'axis of resistance' against US and Israeli influence. The situation stems from the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, which has heightened regional tensions. While Iran pledges support, it prefers to avoid direct military confrontation, instead relying on allied militant groups if retaliation becomes necessary.
