For help after the helicopter went down. Martha raddatz tonight with late reporting here. Reporter new images tonight, of the deadly Helicopter Crash sending shockwaves across the middle east, killing irans hardline president and other top officials. In dense fog, search teams locating the mangled wreckage, wedged between trees, in the rugged mountains of northwest iran. The bodies of iranian president ebrahim raisi, his Foreign Minister, and six others, found at the scene. As iran investigates the cause, defense secretary lloyd austin tonight made clear the u. S. Had no role. The United States had no part to play in that crash. And so and thats thats a fact, plain and simple. Reporter the state Department Today saying the iranian government even took the remarkable step of asking the u. S. Government for help in finding the helicopter. But the u. S. Was unable to assist for what officials called logistical reasons. In iran, thousands mourning the deaths of the two leaders. But some in iran secretly, and those in exile in berlin and london, celebrating. Given raisis role in the vicious crackdown on protests in iran back in 2022. And with the war raging in gaza, it was also raisi who oversaw the launch of that unprecedented missile and drone attack on israel last month.

Translator we dont really want the war, the scope of the war to expand. Reporter but the Foreign Minister making clear he believed the u. S. Bore responsibility for ending the war. President raisi had widely been seen as a possible successor to irans 85yearold supreme leader, ayatollah khamenei.

Lets get to Martha Raddatz. Martha, as you know, some iranian authorities blaming the u. S. Tonight, pointing to the longtime u. S. Sanctions, saying a major reason why their helicopters, their fleet is so old. And i know you were there in tehran when the iranian president came to power. This new election comes very quickly . Reporter it does, david. But the State Department made clear today that it was the iranian government that decided to fly its president in a 45yearold helicopter in bad weather, no one else. But no matter what the u. S. Says, many iranians will blame the u. S. And israel. And even though iran will hold elections within the next 50 days, it is a near certainty that the next president will be approved by the ayatollah. David . David Martha Raddatz live in washington.

Reporter and now, the focus of this investigation into this disaster is on those Power Failures onboard the dali. The two just seconds before the ship hit the bridge, and two others ten hours earlier while the ship was still docked in port. David .
