Working overtime: Iranian strongman Ebrahim Raisi — aka “the butcher of Tehran” — is dead in a Sunday helicopter crash that his countrymen and women are celebrating, so now would be the perfect time for the New York Times to avoid interviewing the Iranian dissident he tried to have assassinated.
For those keeping track:
U.S. Senate Chaplain
U.S. State Department Spokesman
White House Spokesman
NATOAll offered condolences for the Butcher of Tehran’s death

Allahu akbar!
Hope Raisi had a long and painful end worthy of his reign of terror.
ON the death of a Democrat role model.
Everything you need to know about the Biden administration is revealed when they offer condolences to Iran on the death of a mass murderer.

The MSM cannot be hated enough for being lying shytebags.
ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE
No word from Ottawa on TurdHole’s mourning over the Butcher’s death. Thus far.
At the gates of Beelzebub, Satan asked
President Ebrahim Raisi, the ‘Butcher of Tehran. “What were the last things you can remember?”
Raisi said: ” I remember pieces of titanium helicopter blades, and I believe Hossein Amirabdollahian foreign ministers’ ankle bones went through my brain. ”
We died in each others arms and our silky transparent robes. Rather romantic for Iranian leadership.
ha ha !! in an infinite number of universes this happened. ha ha ha !!
Alexandre is in mourning.
That announcement made it good day. I rejoice over the death or the Butcher.
I’m sure those he sent on to the afterlife ahead of himself have prepared for him a welcoming committee.
Iranian women celebrate the death of President Raisi.

Another FILTHY INBRED PIG from Iran eliminated.
This is a good start.
Now get the rest of those raghead “Imams” on another Helicopter over a volcano…
You really can’t hate the NYT enough can you? Don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade but who’ll take his place? Will it be a case of “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?”
We’ll see.
Biden has sent condolences …
The US Senate had a “moment of prayer”
The UN Security Council had a moment of silence…

probs a few hundred other groups, when the people you hate tell you who they are, believe them.
When news that the helicopter had a hard landing broke, Ayatollah Khamenei asked people to pray for the president.
I prayed that he’d gone to hell.
My prayers were answered.
I didn’t pray for them, but I’m sure your prayers were answered.
As my opinion is all muslims go to hell. The reason for this is, what incentive is there for anyone else to be good, if muslims are let in too? This opinion causes some distress amongst my liberal Canadian friends (well they’re #Libranos really and not “real friends” but anyhow…) Sometimes I point out that the Ayatollah K of Iran decreed that all the unwed women folk sentenced to death in Iran were thoroughly raped prior to being put to death. This was to ensure that none of these unwed women could enter heaven as they were no longer virgins. There’s another million reasons though.
and the list of religions which “get along” with each other is extensive, with islam normally being included in the list of religions which don’t get along with any of the others unless one includes “nazi” as a religion.
l like your logic.
theres a line in the sand one doesnt cross.
muslims well they going back and forth takin their chances
The cynic in me suggests that Fassihi has another profession that is primary to her NYTimes role. She is an operative tasked with showing Iran in a positive narrative. The envy explanation doesn’t feel right.
Was thrilled with the news of the butcher’s demise and disgusted by the pusillanimity of the condolence offerers. Are they thinking that the islamist monsters will be softened by them? Can they really believe that there is some diplomatic gain in it?!
Also, had a good chuckle at how the event was initially described as A HARD LANDING.
What a hoot!!
The UN (and its representative from the US) honor Iranian mass murderer.

In other news, goats and little boys all around Tehran will sleep easier tonight.

If Raisi is indeed dead, the key takeaway is not really who succeeds him (that’s the 1st VP Mohammad Mokhber, but only as a caretaker for 50 days before an election).
It’s the fact that the next Supreme Leader is most likely Ali Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba Khamenei.
Internal pundits had believed the competition to succeed Khamenei as Supreme Leader was down to Mojtaba and Raisi. If Raisi is dead, Mojtaba becomes heir apparent.
The post of President is relatively unimportant – it’s more for domestic affairs, not national security and ideological direction.
The Assembly of Experts, an 88-person body, appoints the next Supreme Leader upon the death or vacancy in office of the Supreme Leader.
A question is whether anyone else would rise to challenge Mojtaba in the internal machinations. If not, it’s his for the taking.
And then we are set for the Islamic Republic to open itself up (rightly) to accusations that it has effectively become a hereditary monarchy – just in radical Islamic clothing.
This would make it harder for the regime to differentiate itself from its predecessor Pahlavi government, which is becoming viewed more favorably in retrospect by Iranians today.

If Iranian President Raisi is dead, his heir apparent is Mojtaba Khamenei
The Khamenei name may look familiar b/c he is the son of Ayatollah Khameini, the ideological leader of the Iranian theocracy
I see a lot of finger pointing at who caused the helicopter accident
Maybe people should start looking at the man whose son is about to take over as President…
OMG! They’re really doing it! Our government is just as mournful over the shocking helicopter crash death of this BUTCHER as they were when Kobe Bryant and his 13yo daughter were killed in a helicopter crash.

My first thought was, “Good Riddance”!!!
My next thought was, “Does Boeing do helis now”?!
Barak O’Rama crying in his dog-cereal this morning.
Our condolences to the people of Germany for the death of Deputy Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, President of Interpol, and Director of the Reich Security Main Office Heydrich, who perished in the car crash.
