Khamenei has publicly assured Iranians that there would be 바카라 게임 웹사이트�no disruption to the operations of the country바카라 게임 웹사이트� as a result of the crash.WHAT HAS THE INTERNATIONAL REACTION BEEN?After the news first broke of the search operation, countries including Russia, Iraq and Qatar made formal statements of concern about Raisi바카라 게임 웹사이트�s fate and offered to assist in the search.Azerbaijani President Aliyev offered any support necessary. Relations between the two countries have been chilly due to Azerbaijan바카라 게임 웹사이트�s diplomatic relations with Israel, Iran's regional arch-enemy.Saudi Arabia, traditionally a rival of Iran although the two countries have recently made a rapprochement, said it stands by "Iran in these difficult circumstances.바카라 게임 웹사이트�There was no immediate official reaction from Israel. Last month, following an Israeli strike on an Iranian consular building in Damascus that killed two Iranian generals, Tehran launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel. They were mostly shot down and tensions have apparently since subsided.
