Well, regardless of what you think of their politics, that's a huge loss for a country with the position Iran is in right now. I hope they manage to keep calm and prevent foreign shit starting.
It's mind boggling to me that lemmygrad is the only place I've yet seen anyone show some sort of respect for a world leader dying in a violent accident. Everywhere in the media and online all I'm seeing is people glad he's dead. As if he's ever done anything to any of us to deserve that.
There's a pretty long list of other world leaders who if they went out violently like this, I'd be all ripbozo smoking on the prez pack. Unfortunately, Raeisi is not one of them.
Wasn't he pretty involved in the suppression of women? All I've read is that he generally wasn't well liked by any group of the citizenry of Iran
I can understand people feeling concern for Iran's people and trajectory during a tumultuous time like this, but I don't think anyone should feel bad he's gone. He wasn't a good person
Helicopter crashed into a mountain in basically zero visibility fog. Chuck Shumer said that the is suspected no foul play. Sounds to be just an accident. If I remember, this is what brought down Kobes helicopter too
State media hasn't implied anything. I'm sure they'll investigate. But helicopters crashing in terrible weather conditions isn't unusual. I'd put my money on accident unless some compelling evidence is forthcoming.
Vuฤiฤ could go honestly ASAP... They also faked ''assassination'' attempts on him multiple times in media over the years to the point where it became a meme, examples include: alleged plan to snipe him where they put a cut photo of him visiting weapon exhibition, other one to allegedly blow him up with a rocket launcher, grenade launcher, mine etc etc.
You know scratch-that, just oof the entire Balkan political scene, this is 9th circle of hell.
