Today, ’s President & FM were flown in a 45yr-old US-made helicopter, which crashed in bad weather — and 12hrs later, a Turkish drone found their probable crash site.

So much for the ’s hundreds of billions of $’s spent on air & drone tech in recent years.

Raisi was a judge on a “death commission” in 1988 that put thousands of political prisoners in Iran to death after just a few “yes” or “no” questions.

I wrote about that and pathways to justice in this 2021 piece for Just Security

'Man can turn into an animal in no time. All he needs is permission. As soon as permission is given from higher-ups, from the government, it accelerates,' says Holocaust survivor Irene Weiss. cbsn.ws/4dOmQ84

Hilarious. A guy joked on Telegram that the person guilty for Raissi’s disappearance was a Mossad agent named “Eli Kouptar”. (Mideast pronunciation of Helicopter)

French-Israeli Channel i24 didn’t get the joke and wondered in all seriousness whether it was true or just a rumor!

It says a lot about the priorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran that they spend hundreds of billions developing indigenous nuclear, rocket, missile, and drone programs, but the regime's president and foreign minister crashed in an American Bell helicopter made in 1979.

Tonight, my thoughts are with the countless victims of the Islamic Republic – those whose lives were taken due to the crimes of Ali Khamenei and Ebrahim Raisi.

Their futures were stolen and many endured untold suffering in their final moments. We will always remember our heroes.

Majd Kamalmaz was an American hero, he was in Louisiana after Katrina, in Bosnia after the genocide, in Indonesia after the tsunami, and in Syria to help the victims of Assad. Assad’s regime killed him and the US government must hold Assad and his criminal regime accountable

IRGC fanboy Telegram account posted these photos of President Ebrahim Raisi with Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani.

Both are dead now (and still no one is mentioning Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the foreign minister, who also died).

Yes, it is enough.

Majd Kalmalmaz was an American. And he was abducted and killed by Bashar al Assad and his regime. And there should be consequences for that.

Free Syrians in northern Aleppo are passing out baklava in celebration of Iranian President Raisi's helicopter crash.

They're holding a sign that wishes the same fate onto Bashar al-Assad.
