Mr Jaishankar called both leaders "friends of India".
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Tuesday visited the Embassy of Iran in New Delhi as the country observed a day's state mourning as a mark of respect to Iranian president Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi and the country's foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who died in a helicopter crash on Sunday.
"They will always be remembered as friends of India who contributed immensely to the growth of the India-Iran relationship. The Government of India stands in solidarity with the people of Iran at this very difficult time," Mr Jaishankar said in a post on X after visiting the Iranian Embassy.
Raisi and Amir-Abdollahian were among nine people who died after their helicopter crashed in Iran's mountainous north-west area while they were returning from the Azerbaijan border after flagging off joint projects in the region.
The National Flag is being flown at half-mast on all buildings in India on Tuesday and no official entertainment has been scheduled for the day.
