Iranian rescue teams recovered the bodies of the country's president, Ebrahim Raisi, and the eight other passengers who were on the helicopter that crashed on Sunday in northwestern Iran on Monday, ending the search operation.

Images released by international news agencies provide a glimpse of the efforts made by the authorities, who transported "the bodies of the martyrs to Tabriz," the main city in the northwest of the country, as the head of the Red Crescent, Pirhossein Koulivand, told state television.

A few hours earlier, the Iranian government confirmed the death of the head of state, adding that the disaster will not cause "any disruption in the administration" of Iran.

The helicopter carrying Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian crashed in the Kalibar area.

The accident occurred on Sunday, when the delegation was returning from the border area with Azerbaijan, where Raisi inaugurated a dam in the presence of his Azerbaijani counterpart, Ilham Aliyev.
