Pope Francis right now expressed his condolences to Iran's Supreme Chief, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, following the demise of President Ibrahim Raisi yesterday, Sunday, when the helicopter he was touring in crashed.
“As we entrust the souls of the deceased to the mercy of Almighty God and pray for many who mourn their loss (s.b. of the deceased), particularly their households, I ship the reassurance of non secular closeness to the nation, at this tough time” , the pope wrote, in English, in a telegram addressed to Khamenei.
