Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov blamed the U.S and said that U.S sanctions have exacerbated aviation safety issues, in reference to the helicopter crash that killed Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.
Iranian media reported that images from the crash site showed the U.S.-made Bell 212 helicopter, which Raisi was travelling on, had slammed into a mountain peak.
However, there has been no official determination regarding the cause of the crash.
