WE’VE NO HAND IN HELICOPTER CRASH THAT KILLED IRANIAN PRESIDENT – ISRAELI OFFICIAL

In response to the recent helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, an Israeli official has firmly denied any involvement by Israel.

According to Sky News, the official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, stated unequivocally, “It wasn’t us.”

The crash, believed to be caused by adverse weather conditions and poor visibility, occurred amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, particularly over Tehran’s nuclear program, which Israel opposes vehemently.

Iran’s influence in the Middle East, through support of proxy groups like Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah, has further strained relations with Israel.

Despite these tensions, Israel has reiterated its denial of involvement in the tragic incident.

The statement underscores the delicate nature of relations between the two nations, highlighting the deep-seated animosity and mistrust that have long characterized their interactions.As investigations into the crash continue, both Israel and Iran are closely monitoring developments, wary of potential escalations in an already tense region.
