Reminder that the President of Iran is not the head of government. That would be the Supreme Leader of Iran, where the same person has been incumbent for the past 35 years. There may not be a significant impact.

Is there an index of the risk of private flights somewhere? It definitely feels like most accidents are on private flights when there are many more commercial flights.

I feel like the more useful thing here is helicopter risk. Helicopters are very unsafe in general as I understand things.

Its mind boggling to me that people risk their lives and pay for "helicopter rides" here in Orlando, a city that is FLAT and there's nothing to be seen as you can't fly over Disney.
