Hijacking the top comment to be the devil's advocate:
While the first thought is for us to blame Israel and the Deep State, keep in mind that the Iranian President is not a popular nor beloved man amongst the public and the Iranian government has plenty of corruption issues that is quite widespread within their ranks, from their military to their religious authorities.
We should keep in mind the possibility that this incident can be a result of
1.) Corrupt elements within the government wanting to eliminate the President towards a goal and using Israeli hostility as cover for their crimes.
2.) Honest elements within the government or general public getting fed up with the corrupt President and deciding to take action, again potentially using the Israeli hostility as cover, or
3.) Criminal negligence or incompetence from all involved with the helicopter trip, from the flat path planners to the helicopter maintenance crew.
Time will reveal the truth, but we need to keep an open mind to accept the truth, even if it is not to our liking nor confirming to our biases.
