Over 12 hours after Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s helicopter went missing after seemingly crashing in the mountains of Iran’s East Azerbaijan province, a Turkish Akinci UAV deployed to aid in search efforts has located a heat signature suspected to be from wreckage.
No word still on the status of President Raisi or the other passengers and crew of the aircraft.
