The helicopter crash in which Iran’s late President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in May was caused by weather conditions and the aircraft’s inability to handle the weight it was carrying.

The communications center of the Armed Forces General Staff, responsible for publishing information on the crash investigation, said the report was “completely false,” state media reported.

A preliminary report by Iran’s military had said in May that no evidence of foul play or an attack had been found during the investigation.

“The investigation in the case of Ayatollah Raisi’s helicopter crash have been completed … there is complete certainty that what happened was an accident,” the security source, who was not named, told Fars.

Two reasons for the accident were identified: the weather was unsuitable, and the helicopter was unable to handle the weight, leading to it crash into a mountain, the source added, according to Fars.

The investigation indicated that the helicopter was carrying two people more than the capacity that security protocols allow, the source told Fars.

Raisi, once a potential successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the crash in mountainous terrain near the Azerbaijan border
