The European Union is watching the situation in Iran carefully after reports of an incident involving a helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.

The condition of both Iranian politicians is “not yet clear,” Michel added.
“Together with EU member states and partners, we are monitoring the situation closely,” he said.
