Iranian President's helicopter involved in "accident" Foreign Minister Was Also on Board!
A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was involved in an accident on Sunday.
Iranian State broadcaster Tasnim reported that the president was on board the helicopter when it was involved in an accident in eastern Azerbaijan.
According to Tasnim, Red Crescent rescue forces and military and police auxiliary forces had begun a massive operation to find the helicopter.
According to the report, the convoy consisted of three helicopters, with the helicopter also carrying Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
According to the state broadcaster, individuals who were on the aircraft made contact after the incident, noting that the hope that the incident ended without loss of life has increased.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps affiliated Fars news agency as well as several other sources reported that communications with the pilots were lost.
Iranian Minister of Interior Ahmad Vahidi confirmed: "Today, we had the opening of the Qiz Qalasi Dam in the presence of the President of Azerbaijan, and after that, the President and his entourage were on the way back with several helicopters, one of which crashed due to bad weather."
He added: "Rescue teams were sent to the area, but due to the foggy and inhospitable nature of the area, it may take time to reach the helicopter."
According to the Minister: "We have communicated with the president's companions, but because the area is complicated, some communication is difficult and we are waiting for the rescue teams to reach the area of the accident and helicopter landing and give us information."
A view of one of the tunnels connecting Rafah to Egypt... Big enough for cars! There are over 50 of them!
One of the tunnels captured in Rafah crossing into Egyptian territory; note its size, which can also allow vehicle movement.
This is why Egypt in the last couple of weeks was pressuring Biden to pressure Israel NOT TO GO INTO RAFAH!
Biden knew about these tunnels and refused to give this info to Israelis!

Rep. Elise Stefanik to address Israeli Knesset in Jerusalem, slam Biden
New York Rep. Elise Stefanik will address members of Israel’s Knesset in Jerusalem Hall Sunday, slamming President Biden for his “dithering” on American military aid, The Post has learned.
The speech was part of a trip to visit sites where Hamas terrorists slaughtered Israeli civilians on October 7.
In remarks released to The Post, Stefanik, who chairs the House Republican Conference, described herself as “a lifelong admirer, supporter, and friend of Israel and the Jewish people” and denounced the Biden administration for withholding military aid that Congress has authorized.
“There is no excuse for an American president to block aid to Israel — aid that was duly passed by the Congress … or to dither and hide while our friends fight for their lives,” her speech reads.
The five-term Republican, who led the GOP’s assault on lefty university presidents and their refusal to tamp down campus antisemitism in a fiery House hearing last year, also plans a swipe at American academia.
“We must not let the extremism in ‘elite’ corners conceal the deep, abiding love for Israel among the American people,” she will say.
“The majority of Americans support you and we always will…They have opened their hearts to you in this dark hour.”
Stefanik’s trip makes her the highest-ranking member of the House to visit Israel since the cowardly attack by Hamas, her office said.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott will keep busing migrants to NYC
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed Saturday to continue bussing migrants to New York City — and took a shot at Mayor Eric Adams during a speech to the NRA.
“Unless and until Joe Biden does finally begin to enforce immigration laws I will continue to bus those migrants to sanctuary cities across the United States of America,” Abbott said to loud cheers while delivering remarks at the 2024 National Rifle Association convention in Dallas.
“Buncha hypocrites,” he added.
A woman in the crowd yelled at him to send the migrants to New York, to which he responded, “oh, they’re going to New York — trust me.”
The Republican governor then took a jab at hizzoner.
“Mayor Adams needs something to do,” Abbot said.
A spokesperson for Mayor Adams fired back, calling Abbott “a coward” for his bussing program.
“Governor Abbott is a coward who uses human beings as political pawns, and has done nothing while murder rates in Texas have skyrocketed under his lack of leadership,” the spokesperson told The Post in a statement.
“If anyone ‘needs something to do,’ it’s him,” they added.
Biden Sinking Very Fast
‘APRIL is the cruelest month,” poet T. S. Eliot famously declared.
Joe Biden might beg to differ.
June is shaping up as a potential nightmare for the 81-year-old president.
His re-election, his legacy and son Hunter Biden’s freedom are all on the line over the course of a month-long gantlet.
And he has only himself to blame.
Biden’s surprising demand last week that Donald Trump debate him twice, with the first face-off in June, underscores his desperation to get his campaign back on track.
His insistence on a televised showdown in a month already crammed with high-stakes events reveals that Biden knows his bid for a second term is in deep trouble.
Trailing in most if not all of the swing states and getting disastrous ratings from voters, he’s ready to put his chips on the table five months before the election.
Trump agreed to both debates, with the first scheduled for June 27 and the second for Sept. 10.
It’s rare that a president’s schedule drives headlines, but there is nothing ordinary about Biden’s lineup for June.
It looks like a formula for disaster.
Consider that Hunter Biden is scheduled to face felony gun and tax charges in two separate trials next month.
The chance that his son could end up in prison, aides say, is never far from the president’s mind.
“Psychological torment” is how a Politico report described what Biden is experiencing.
It quoted aides as saying that although the president speaks to Hunter daily, the White House staff tip-toes around the topic out of “fear of an angry rebuke or an icy stare.”

'Let my people stay' - in the Diaspora?
by Tzvi Fishman
This Shabbat, the 10th of Iyar, marked the birthdate of Theodor (Binyamin Ze’ev) Herzl whose vision and historic efforts on behalf of the Jewish People led to the foundation of Medinat Yisrael. Looking down at the magnificent city of Jerusalem from his resting place on Mount Herzl, he certainly can be proud of the child he helped give birth to - the modern State of Israel which has become a diamond of achievement and light in an ever-darkening world. On the other hand, looking down from heaven at the Diasporas of the West, Theodor Herzl may be turning over in his grave.
When Hashem first appeared to Moshe at the burning bush, he ordered Moshe to set out on the mission to bring the enslaved Jews out of Egypt and lead them to the Promised Land. Faithfully, Moshe confronted Pharaoh and conveyed Hashem’s command to “Let My People go!” This cry of freedom became the cry of Theodor Herzl and decades later the cry during the struggle for Soviet Jewry – “Let My People go!”
