On the evening of Thursday, May 24, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in response to the revelations of Avtouday, announced the absence of "bullet marks or similar" on the remaining parts of the said helicopter.
In this , which is Iran's first official report on how the helicopter carrying Ebrahim Raisi and his companions crashed, it is stated:
"The effects of bullets or similar cases were not observed in the remaining components of the helicopter. The helicopter caught fire after hitting the height".
Ebrahim Raisi, the eighth president of Iran, known as the executioner of Iran, was killed in a suspicious helicopter crash while returning from the opening ceremony of a dam on Sunday evening, May 19.
Ali Jovanmardi, an independent political activist and journalist, was the first person to announce just a few hours after the news of Ebrahim Raisi's death, by presenting documentary evidence in a live program on Saturday evening, May 21: "According to the photos published by the official news agencies of the government of the wreckage of the helicopter, our experts have noticed the effects of bullets hitting the tail of the helicopter carrying Raisi and his companions", He said.
Javanmardi noted: "Avatody experts, citing the available documents, declare with certainty that the helicopter carrying Raisi did not crash due to bad weather conditions and contrary to the claim of the Islamic Republic, the death of Raisi and his companions is a murder and a conspiracy by the a part of government."
These revelations, as well as the existence of numerous ambiguities and contradictions in the words of the Islamic Republic officials, led the people of Iran to the conclusion that the crash of Ebrahim Raisi's helicopter was not an accident but human factors caused it to crash.
In this regard, the newspaper "Islamic Republican" wrote in its last article on Thursday, May 23: "Now all minds are busy with bold speculations about the accident's conspiracy".
In the continuation of this article, it is stated: "The fact that out of the three Iranian helicopters returning from the border area, only the helicopter carrying Raisi had an accident, rules out the bad weather and strengthens the possibility of a conspiracy."
It was for this reason that Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, ordered the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran to investigate the crash of the helicopter of the president and his companions. But the fact is that the publication of the initial report not only did not remove the ambiguities but also increased the range of ambiguities and doubts.
The report adds: "No suspicious cases were observed in the conversations of the watchtower with the Raisi helicopter."
According the report, the pilot of Raisi's helicopter communicated with the flight crew of two other helicopters one and a half minutes before the accident.
This report also mentions: "The helicopter continued on the planned route and did not deviate from the designated flight path".
