The Portuguese Head of State, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, presented this Monday his condolences to Mohammad Mokhber, interim president of Iran, for the death of the Iranian president, Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi, and members of the government in an air disaster that occurred on Sunday.
This position was transmitted in a note published on the official website of the Presidency of the Republic.
"Following the accident that yesterday claimed the lives of the President and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran, President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa transmitted to the interim President, Mohammad Mokhber, in his name and on behalf of the Portuguese people, his condolences for the mourning of the Iranian people, as well as his condolences to the families of the victims", it reads.
It should be recalled that Iranian rescue teams today recovered the remains of Ebrahim Raisi and the other eight passengers who were on the helicopter that crashed on Sunday in north-western Iran, announced the humanitarian organisation Red Crescent.
The helicopter that was also carrying the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, crashed in the area of Kalibar and Warzghan, in the province of East Azerbaijan, in the north-west of the country.
A few hours earlier, the Iranian government confirmed the death of Raisi, adding that the disaster will not cause "any disturbance in the administration" of the country.
