The White House declared that the US was not involved in the helicopter crash in Iran

The US is not involved in the crash of the helicopter in Iran, in which the president of the country, Ebrahim Raisi, was. This was reported by the NBC News channel with reference to a source in the White House.

"There is no foreign intervention in the event. Allegations of alleged indirect involvement of the White House in the event are absurd," the official said on condition of anonymity.

He also emphasized that the tragedy "will not lead to any radical changes" in the relations between the two countries.

In addition, the TV channel reported that the US President Joe Biden's administration is monitoring relevant information that may relate to allegations against Washington.

Earlier, it became known that the Bell-212 helicopter carrying Raisi and the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, Amir Abdollahian, which crashed, was American-made. It is noted that there have already been accidents involving helicopters of this modification in Iran.
