A large number of representatives from international and Italian bodies including the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) attended Iran’s Embassy in Rome, Italy, to sign the book of condolence and to express sympathy with the Iranian nation over the incident.
In a related development, the Iranians residing in Rome and the staff of several Islamic centers including Al Mahdi Center in the Italian capital came to the Iranian embassy to honor the martyrs of the helicopter crash.
President Raisi, the eighth president of Iran, was martyred after the helicopter carrying him and his entourage including Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian crashed in the Varzaqan region in the northwestern province of East Azarbaijan on May 19.
Raisi was buried at the shrine of Imam Reza (AS) – the eighth Imam of Shia Muslims – in the northeast of Iran on Thursday.
