SEAToday.com, Washington - Kematian Presiden Iran Ebrahim Raisi yang diakibatkan oleh kecelakaan helikopter Bell 212 buatan Amerika Serikat (AS) menjadi perhatian dunia saat ini. Menanggapi hal itu, Menteri Pertahanan AS Lloyd Austin mengaku bahwa pihaknya tidak ada sangkut pautnya atas insiden tersebut.
“Amerika Serikat tidak ambil bagian dalam kecelakaan itu. Saya tidak bisa berspekulasi tentang apa yang mungkin menjadi penyebabnya,” kata Austin dilansir dari CNA, Selasa (21/5/2024).
Di tengah kematian Presiden Raisi dan Menteri Luar Negeri Hossein Amirabdollahian, Iran sedang menghadapi tekanan internasional atas sengketa program nuklir Teheran dan semakin dalamnya hubungan militer dengan Rusia selama perang di Ukraina.
Austin mengecilkan kekhawatiran AS bahwa kecelakaan itu mungkin mempunyai implikasi keamanan langsung di Timur Tengah.
“Saya belum melihat dampak keamanan regional yang lebih luas pada saat ini,” katanya.
Berdasarkan konstitusi Republik Islam, pemilihan presiden baru harus diadakan dalam waktu 50 hari.
