A helicopter carrying President Ebrahim Raisi crashed on Sunday, according to Iran’s state media and the country’s mission to the United Nations, but has yet to be found by search-and-rescue workers because of heavy fog.

I think they had quite a valid question. First of all, it's not obvious how this affects Ukraine, if in any way at all. Second, not everyone can know about Iran's involvement in the war (people are born, grown up, and informed every day).

The relevance of the post to the community should be made clear by the contents of the post. As it currently stands, there are no indicators that the event would have any influence on Iran's support for the Russian invasion.

I was going to remove this post for not being explicitly related to Ukraine but opted to leave it up so this question could be asked and answered for those that don't know the reason(s). In the future the answer should be more polite as this is one of the last places on Lemmy where the realities of this war are disseminated without an obvious pro-Russian bias, and good questions should be encouraged.
