The Iranian judiciary chief has praised Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who lost his life in a helicopter crash alongside President Ebrahim Raeisi, as a revolutionary diplomat who played a valuable role in promoting the resistance front.

Amir-Abdollahian was a diplomat and a revolutionary figure that made endeavor for the sake of God and “played a valuable role in advancing the affairs and sacred goals of the resistance front,” Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei said on Tuesday as he visited the top diplomat’s home.

He also noted that Amir-Abdollahian dealt with issues in the field of diplomacy and foreign policy in a “prudent and wise” manner and not using a one-dimensional approach.
