Washington: The US State Department on Monday said Iran asked Washington for assistance after Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's helicopter crashed in mountains near the Azerbaijan border, but ultimately the US was unable to provide help largely for logistical reasons.
State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller, speaking to reporters, said Raisi's death does not change the fundamental US stance toward Iran.
