Iran's "president" may have perished in plane crash
6:00 p.m.: Western sources say that they now estimate that President Raisi did not survive the crash. A US State Department spokesperson told CBS News that the US is "closely following reports of a possible hard landing of a helicopter in Iran carrying the Iranian president and foreign minister. We have no further comment at this time."Well let's hope he didn't, nor his foreign minister. It tells quite a bit that they were going to Azerbaijan, a country that attacked Armenia, and as noted here:
Earlier Sunday, the Abu Ali Express news blog reported on the meeting between Raisi and Aliyev, saying that it had been “disturbing” from Israel’s point of view, because Azerbaijan has been friendly with Israel until now.But the Azeri hostility to Armenia ruins everything, as does the former country's adherence to Islam. Israel's governments long made a horrible mistake maintaining relations with a country that's now let the mask slip, but luckily, it looks like it all came back and bit Iran's autocrats in the butt now. A country that was supplying Hamas and Hezbollah with funding has now hopefully been crippled.
Update: more reports state there were no signs of life found at the site of the crash (Hat tip: Breitbart):
Iran’s state television says there is “no sign” of life among passengers of the helicopter which was carrying President Ebrahim Raisi and other officials.Oh well. These were a bunch of antisemites and misogynists riding that aircraft, who wasted tons of money bankrolling Hamas and oppressing women. They won't be a loss.
“Upon finding the helicopter, there was no sign of the helicopter passengers being alive as of yet,” state TV reports.
An Iranian official tells Reuters: “President Raisi’s helicopter was completely burned in the crash… unfortunately, all passengers are feared dead.”
