A major development has rocked the Middle East over the weekend. A helicopter crash in the region of Iran resulted in the deaths of the nation’s president. Other top leaders were also killed, including Iran’s foreign minister and a governor.
Ebrahim Raisi, Iran’s president, was a notorious figure known as the “Butcher of Tehran.” He had been put on sanctions lists for leading a “death commission” that resulted in the executions of thousands.
Raisi, as well as most Iranian leaders, was an enemy of Israel and the United States. Under him, Iran has been the world’s leader in exporting terrorism to other nations. Yet, in the aftermath of his sudden death, the very leaders under threat by a man like him had this to say.
From Breitbart:
Several political leaders of Iran were killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday, apparently as their aircraft got into difficulty in bad weather as it returned to the country from neighbouring Azerbaijan…European Council President Charles Michel, a Belgian centrist-liberal, was quick to make an expression on behalf of the whole European Union, he said.
Michel wrote on Monday morning: “The EU expresses its sincere condolences for the death of President Raisi and Foreign Minister Abdollahian, as well as other members of their delegation and crew in a helicopter accident. Our thoughts go to the families.”
The death of a man called “butcher” for killing thousands is hardly a tragedy. Many might view the crash as a kind of divine judgment for the many lives Raisi has taken—and the destruction he’s spread around the world. We would not be surprised to see people worldwide, including in Iran, celebrating Raisi’s death.
Yet the president of the European Council expressed “sincere condolences” on behalf of the EU, over the death of this monster.
Charles Michel said their thoughts “go to the families.” Many will ask about the families Raisi destroyed, thanks to the many he was responsible for killing. Even now, Iran is waging a campaign to destroy Israel, one of Europe’s and America’s most important allies.
Iran frequently threatens the U.S. and other Western nations. It has been trying to develop WMDs so it can put the world in jeopardy. Yet the European Union is apparently sad this man is no longer among the living.
Iran continues to fund and aid terror networks like Hamas, who were behind the terrible acts of October 7th, 2023. The rogue nation is under numerous sanctions and restrictions, thanks to its hostility toward the rest of the world.
Key Takeaways:
- Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash.
- EU leader issued “condolences” over the death of the “Butcher of Tehran.”
- Iran continues to threaten Israel and Western nations with prospects of global war.
