    Reports are all over the place, he lived, bodies were found, they haven’t found it yet, it was another copter in the convoy…
    But potential to be a big story.

    Well, I expect the Iranians will blame Mossad.

    President and Foreign Secretary, not mullahs, at least based on limited details.

    Hard to find a reputable full news source with Elon’s white supremacist algorithm. Developing

    Sounds like a bad landing versus an attack but as the OP pointed out details are sketchy.

    You can see how bad the weather is. Kinda reminds me of how Kobe Bryant’s helicopter was lost.

    I’m not up to date on the political machinations of Iran. If he’s dead is that a good, bad, or neutral event for the Western world?

    I mean. How long should it take to find the President’s copter in a nearly 100,000,000 person country?

    Dark Brandon used his fog machine to take down an Iranian helicopter?

    Isn't the president just a figurehead? The Ayatollah is the "Supreme Leader" of Iran. (I think one is then supposed to say, "Praise be to Allah!")
