President and Foreign Minister of Iran ‘Missing’ After Helicopter Crash
There’s breaking news this evening that a helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and the Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian was forced to make a “hard landing” in a mountainous area close to the Iranian-Azerbaijani border. The area is currently shrouded in fog, which is hampering rescue efforts. At the time of writing, neither the helicopter nor any of its occupants have been found – at least, they haven’t been reported as found by the Iranian media.
You can read the BBC’s live blog on the incident here, the Telegraph’s here, the Times’s here and the Guardian’s here. More news as we get it.
Stop Press: A news outfit called the EuroPost Agency is reporting that both are dead.
Stop Press 2: Raisi’s death has now been confirmed – all nine occupants of the helicopter died. The Telegraph has a short obit and the late Iranian President sounds like a thoroughly bad egg. A new Presidential election will be held in 50 days, although if it was anything like the last one in which Raisi was elected it will be rigged by the regime.

Good riddance.
Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
I can’t imagine how it must be for girls and women in Iran to run the gauntlet every time they leave the house without wearing that universal cloth symbol of subjugation: the dreaded hijab. They are even using drones now in parts of Iran to seek out women who dare to walk freely and unrestricted. So many videos online of females being accosted on the streets by these horrendous, evil ghouls ( many of the ‘morality police’ are female and just require a broomstick or scythe to complete the Halloween outfit ) then bundled into a van and taken away. I remember after the ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ protests it was reported that the revolutionary guards were instructed to shoot at the people’s faces, so many civilians fighting for their human rights, and those of their daughters, wives and sisters were blinded as a result. Very courageous people, risking being imprisoned, tortured and executed, which happens regularly under this atrocious Islamic regime. We need these evil bastards who are in charge and sit on the Death Commission to take more helicopter rides ( 2mins );

“They are even using drones now in parts of Iran to seek out women who dare to walk freely and unrestricted.”
Something they learned from the West? Our governments don’t discriminate though: anyone who dared to walk freely and unrestricted was sought out.

Women pilots. Tut.
Don’t write any conspiracy theories here, sceptics. Comments will get turned off 😉
PS I am sure this has nothing to do with Mossad.
A pity it wasn’t a Chinook full.
I’ve said for a long time, that if you took the most powerful 1000 people on Earth and fired them into the sun (or put them all into a dodgy helicopter flying through fog), humanity would suddenly become a happier place to be. That’s two down…
Euro post correct
Now who could possibly have organised an unfortunate “accident” like this?
I guess it must have been that evil Putin.
If the US is itching for a nuclear war, they have possibly just shot the first “bullet”.
iran and its allies will not sit quietly while their leaders are being assassinated, who can blame them.
Biden just gave them several Billion Dollars , maybe they forgot to thank him .
Why on earth would anyone be ‘itching for a nuclear war’?
That makes no sense.
The (very old) helicopter had a ‘hard landing’ in harsh weather conditions and heavy fog, as can plainly be seen from footage of the rescue parties at the crash site.
Resident Biden will no doubt blame Trump or Climate Change…….drum roll…..
President Raisi has achieved the rank of Martyr.
Maybe that’s why so many Iranians are celebrating his demise?
Iranians CELEBRATE the death of President Raisi with fireworks while victims of his torturous regime and their loved ones dance and drink a toast to his fatal helicopter crash | Daily Mail Online “Raisi quickly worked his way to the top – and in doing so earned himself the moniker ‘the Butcher of Tehran’. As deputy prosecutor and subsequently chief prosecutor, Raisi stood on the so-called ‘death committee’ – a group of four judges who presided over tribunals in 1988 that were assembled to ‘re-try’ the regime’s political prisoners. Thousands of these prisoners were ruthlessly executed and dumped in unmarked graves. The exact number of deaths is not known but rights groups estimate roughly 5,000 people were killed following Raisi’s brutal judgement.” Moment Iranian woman blinded by ‘morality police’ smiles & dances after president’s death as cops crush protest parties | The Irish Sun (thesun.ie) “Women’s rights activist Masih Alinejad wrote on X that the helicopter crash was “the only crash in history where everyone is worried if someone survived”.” What I don’t understand is why “The Butcher of Tehran” could get away with slaughtering 5000 Muslims and dumping them in mass graves, without being captured, dragged to The Hague as an… Read more »
