Untimely death for the Butcher of Tehran - Darlene Casella . . ."Dr. Roxane Farmanfarmaian teaches international relations involving the Middle East at the University of Cambridge. She posited that it is interesting that there were two other helicopters travelling in the convoy and they made it back safely. There will be inevitable questions as to whether there was foul play. For conspiracy theorists and those inclined to believe that Israel was responsible, Israel immediately announced that it was not responsible for the crash.
"Whether the cause of the crash was the hand of God, the weather, or faulty equipment, there could be geopolitical consequences. Mass protests against the Iranian Shiite theocracy have boiled and bubbled for years. Could this be an optimal time for revolution?"
Actually, It Was the U.S. Who Killed Iranian President Raisi (Iran Says) . . ."At least, that's the implication from Iran, which needed a couple of days to get its story straight and blame "Western sanctions" on the poor quality of its helicopters, which led to Raisi's untimely demise. That talking point is now floating around, thanks to friendly media outlets willing to overlook (if not actually cheer on) Iran being a country run by very bad people.
"Raisi's helicopter, a Bell 212, is a decades-old vehicle model that includes analog controls rather than up-to-date digital controls. Some experts have suggested that means the helicopter was unable to communicate with any air traffic control towers or call for help. That, combined with the heavy fog and incoming storm, proved to be fatal. Rather than admit that they shouldn't have been flying in such conditions or that they shouldn't have been terror-supporting rabble-rousers who deserve more sanctions than they have, Iran has instead blamed the U.S." . . .
