Iran asked for help from Washington after the helicopter crash that killed the president Ibrahim Raisia representative of the American government said this Monday evening, without giving details.

“I won’t go into details, but the Iranian government has asked us to help them,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters. But he noted that the US was unable to provide that assistance, “mainly for logistical reasons.”

At almost the same time, briefing reporters at the White House, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that Rice “he had blood on his hands” for supporting extremist organizations in the region and “being responsible for gross human rights violations” in Iran.

The US will continue to hold Iran responsible for destabilizing action in the Middle East, as reported by John Kirby, in the region.

Earlier, however, Washington had officially expressed its condolences to Iran for Raishi’s death.
