On the afternoon of the 19th local time, a helicopter carrying the Iranian president, foreign minister and other entourages had a hard landing accident in the Varzhagan region of East Azerbaijan Province. After the accident, the Iranian side quickly organized a rescue operation, but the rescue operation was hampered by the inaccessibility of the accident area, poor mountain and forest conditions, and foggy weather.
In the early morning of the 20th local time, Turkey's Anadolu News Agency reported that the "Ranger" drone sent by Turkey to Iran identified the heat source, which was likely to be the location of the helicopter accident, and provided the exact coordinates to the Iranian side. Rescuers from the Iranian side then determined the exact specific location of the accident helicopter.
