World News

Today is a slightly better day for the people of Iran. Especially for the women of Iran.

Big news, I'm going to pin this one for 24 hours.

The helicopter was an old American Bell, stopped production decades ago and parts are hard enough to come by. Sanctions work, they just manifest in mysterious ways such as this and Iran's terrible aviation service record in general.

He's easily replaceable. Plenty more mullah bootlickers where he came from.

If there is a hell may the demons tormenting him be women.

Let's hope the same happens to all corrupted politicians around the world

He will not be missed.

Two helicopters traveling with Raisi made their destination unharmed.

It looks like there were 3 helicopters and only the one carrying Raisi crashed.

So far I have heard it was due to bad weather and that the helicopter was old. If the upcoming investigations shift the narrative to something different than an accident, it could be extremely alarming.

This is what we all hoped covid would have achieved with several more crappy world leaders lol.

Reminds me of Zia ul Haq dying in a C-130 plane crash, although that was purportedly an assassination via a crate of explosive mangos.

So far this just seems like an old heli in bad weather.

Let this be a lesson for putin..... everyone will be extremely happy when you are dead. Not just that, but just before they show you smeared on a cave's wall or a freeway or parking lot, everyone will probably hope really hard that you are gone. And when we finally get confirmation, that happiness will be extra gratifying. Imagine that!

More over let's count how many leaders of Iran are currently bathing in the sun at a private nude beach in Thailand drinking a margarita. Yup that number is exactly 0. That's because assholes don't survive their stupidity. So if you're thinking of trying to join the club, remember this day. This is how it will also end for you. Yeah it could have been entertaining to watch 10 men pull him out of a dirt hole like Hussain. But smeared on a big rock after ordering people to be stoned to death? I can see the irony.

Well deserved fate.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, known for enforcing brutal crackdowns on political opposition and seen as a potential successor to the supreme leader, has died in a helicopter crash landing in the country’s north, state media reported Monday.

Raisi was sometimes notably referred to as the “Butcher of Tehran,” as activists have accused him of being one of the four judges who oversaw the mass execution of thousands of political prisoners in 1988 after the Iran-Iraq war.

“As deputy prosecutor general of Tehran,” the U.S. Treasury Department said in a 2019 sanctions announcement, “Raisi participated in a so-called ‘death commission’ that ordered the extrajudicial executions of thousands of political prisoners in 1988.”

“Ebrahim Raisi’s rise to the presidency follows an electoral process that was conducted in a highly repressive environment and barred women, members of religious minorities and candidates with opposing views from running for office,” Callamard said.

The Iranian regime is also accused of blocking social media apps, arresting journalists and punishing any public criticism of the government following Amini’s death.

Despite concerns over Iran’s attacks on human rights, Raisi was permitted to address the U.N. General Assembly last year, where he criticized Western states for meddling in Middle Eastern affairs.

The original article contains 1,104 words, the summary contains 201 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Today will be a turning point for the people of Iran. Hopefully for the better.

I'm glad the embargo is working.

Yay!
