The charred wreckage was discovered early Monday after an overnight search amid blizzard conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Key points include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nine people were on board; the cause of the crash remains unknown.<\/li>\n<li>Two other helicopters in the convoy reached their destinations safely.<\/li>\n<li>Pakistan will observe a day of mourning, with flags at half-mast.<\/li>\n<li>Rescue efforts faced harsh weather and difficult terrain, supported by international assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In response, Supreme Leader Khamenei has appointed First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber as the interim president. Khamenei declared five days of public mourning and extended his condolences to the Iranian people.
