Turkey says it will send night vision rescue helicopter to aid Iran in its search
From CNN's Scott McLean and Hande Atay Alam
Iran has requested assistance from Turkey in the search for Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's crashed helicopter, the Turkish disaster and emergency management ministry said Sunday.
Iran requested a night vision search and rescue helicopter, the ministry said.
Turkey is also sending six vehicles and 32 mountaineer search and rescue personnel to Iran, according to the ministry.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on X that his government is "following the incident closely, in full contact and coordination with the Iranian authorities."
"On behalf of my nation, I convey my get well wishes to our neighbor, friend and brother Iranian people and government, and I hope to receive good news from Mr. President and his delegation as soon as possible," Erdoğan added.
Remember: It's about 11 p.m. local time in the remote, mountainous East Azerbaijan Province where the president's helicopter went down. Even in daylight, dense fog in the area had hindered the search effort.
He's dead.
