The Iranian Red Crescent mobilized rescue teams to a location where rescue forces reported smelling fuel, suggesting a potential crash site. Initial reports indicated the possibility of the President’s helicopter being involved. However, further investigation revealed that the rescue teams had mistaken the smell of car fuel for helicopter fuel. The head of the Red Crescent confirmed that no evidence of a helicopter crash was found at the site. This information was reported by Tasnim News Agency, Skynews, and Iranian state media.
