ISRAELIS ARE EXPERT AT ASSASSINATION

Everyone knows this. An assassination which is made to look like an "accident"

From targeting Hamas operatives in Dubai to Iranian nuclear scientists in Iran.

I know too early to say but this is what I suspect.

Israelis were desperate for good news and were desperate for revenge.

BBC reporting that the convoy was made up of 3 helicopters and the other 2 landed safely. So that's a good thing. It sounds more like a possible pilot/bad weather type thing unfortunately but hey, crap happens. All you can do is the best to mitigate the risk.

It's been 2 hours. If helicopter was intact, radio contact could've been made by now.

They're saying 'hard landing'. Praying for the best.

Fog , mist etc which appear suddenly, disappears pretty soon to.
That means this fog was probably not a sudden weather phenomena but was there way earlier. And pilot decided to move in.

Believe my I know first hand what it's like to be operating a major piece of equipment and then suddenly and instantaneously be faced with adverse weather that came out of nowhere. It's a terrible thing to go through especially when you have family onboard and you're way out in the ocean.

It's been 2 hours. If helicopter was intact, radio contact could've been made by now.

True. But the other two helicopters that landed safely might not have visual contact with the one that crashed and they're the only ones who can communicate, maybe they're being cautious which is definitely the right thing to do.

as ever - lots of questions asked after an incident - but having the president and prime minister in the same helicopter is poor risk management ..

Zia Ul Haq ending here . People seem not to remember do not fly all your tops together. May Allah grant them all jannat- Furdaus.

Whatever happens after incident like this it will make our people unified even more.

Hells fly in close formation, to increase chances of survival incase of surface to air.. but in fog they have to keep a certain altitude a distance to avoid collision. the president helis must have crashed, if it was a mayday then the other two helis would’ve known where it might have gone down…

foreign minister not prime minister, iran doesn't have a prime minister

Really I think Amir Abdollahian can be real HVT of this "accident". Hope It is just an accident and not another assassination.

VVIP helo must have a Satcom. If not it's a major security protocol failure.

Doesnt make sense to be anything but an accident. Weather conditions look very bad around that area.
