The Islamic Republic of Iran views the West as an enemy of Islam. If given free opportunity, it will make good on its cry of “Death to America,” killing anyone who gets in its way, as it does on its own soil, where the Islamic regime arbitrarily detains citizens and murders dissidents. Ebrahim Raisi earned the title “The Butcher of Tehran” for good reason:
- He was a “member of the ‘death commission’ which forcibly disappeared and extrajudicially executed in secret thousands of political dissidents in Evin and Gohardasht prisons near Tehran in 1988.” The bodies were never returned to the families. As many as 5,000 people were said to be executed.
- He presided over the crackdown on peaceful dissidents. “Under his watch, the judiciary has also granted blanket impunity to government officials and security forces responsible for unlawfully killing hundreds of men, women and children and subjecting thousands of protesters to mass arrests and at least hundreds to enforced disappearance, and torture and other ill-treatment during and in the aftermath of the nationwide protests of November 2019.” Punishments included amputations, the torture of pregnant women, prisoners thrown off cliffs, and people flogged with electric cords.
- One day after the October 7 Hamas massacre, Raisi “hailed the ‘legitimate defense of the Palestinian nation’ and met with leaders of terror groups.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, “Iran helped plot [the] attack on Israel” on October 7, “over several weeks.” Senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah stated that Iran “gave the green light for the assault.”
Officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had worked with Hamas since August to devise the air, land and sea incursions—the most significant breach of Israel’s borders since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
Regime loyalists who have been documented chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” as well as referencing those countries as the Great Satan and the Little Satan, respectively, are the ones who are mourning the death of Raisi. Reports emerged about widespread rejoicing among ordinary Iranians, both inside and outside of Iran, when Raisi’s helicopter went down and the hope that he was dead began to spread. Dissidents “set off fireworks and erupted into spontaneous acts of celebration” when the news of his death finally broke.
A family member of a teenager killed by security forces during the Mahsa Amini protests said: “Raisi’s soul will never rest in peace because he killed my brother and the children of my homeland. He was a murderer who ordered the killing of so many children. My brother’s soul will rest in peace only when others like him are brought to justice. Until then, in God, we believe.”
Yet among human beings there is never any shortage of miscreants, cowards, schemers, and short-sighted people. Many leaders in the West sent condolences to the surviving members of the Iranian death cult. The Biden administration was among them. The White House sent official condolences to Iran:
“The United States expresses its official condolences for the death of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, foreign minister [Hossein] Amir-Abdollahian, and other members of their delegation in a helicopter crash in northwest Iran,”
It’s disgraceful this administration sent condolences for the death of the “Butcher of Tehran.” Just another example of Joe Biden’s desire to appease the ayatollahs. pic.twitter.com/fubS8Ds7bM

NATO also sent condolences:
Our condolences to the people of #Iran for the death of President Raisi, Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian, and others who perished in the helicopter crash.

Reaction:
As a former @NATO Assistant Secretary General, I am flabbergasted by this tweet.
This is completely inapproriate on so many levels. https://t.co/dZiuH977UR

The UN Security Council honored Raisi with a moment of silence:
On the same day that ICC issues arrest warrant for a democratically elected leader who is defending his country, the UN Security Council, including US representative, stands to honor Ebrahim Raisi, “butcher of Tehran”, who’s killed thousands of Iranians…

“What’s next? A minute of silence on the anniversary of Hitler’s death?” Erdan asked, charging that the UN Security Council has become “a danger to world peace.”
Even Pope Francis, who professes Christian love, yet is insulting in the extreme to Raisi’s victims and Iranian dissidents, sent condolences:
Entrusting the souls of the deceased to the mercy of the Almighty, and with prayers for those who mourn their loss, especially their families, I send the assurance of spiritual closeness to the nation at this difficult time.
As for Israel: “It wasn’t us.”
Now in Iran, public outrage has ensued over the condolences sent to Iran from the West. They were salt in the open wounds of those who suffered under Raisi.
Tatanka says
The minions of Satan have revealed them selves . Now you really know who the enemies are.
FYI says
I am sure Francis thinks Ebrahim is wih Jesus now.
After all, he once famously said that muslims and Christians worship the same God.They don’t.
allah and islam come from the cult of baal.{hu baal is the god of the kaaba and al lah comes from the kaaba}
Walter Sieruk says
As for Pope Francis sending his condolences to Iran about the death of Rasis.
This shows that the pope must actually be so very ignorant that he has failed to understand that
it might be that God had His full of that hostile Israel hating tyrant of Iran, Rasis. So He killed that Islamic SOB.
After all, God love Israel so much that He even views her as His “special treasure.” Psalm 135:4 [N.K.J.V.]
Nabil Bissada says
Majority of the Muslims in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Marrocco, do not feel sorry for the death of Ibrahim Raisi the president of Iran.
President Ibrahim Raisi who the western leaders feel very sorry for his death. He was a dictator, fascist and Nazis. He was giving sentence of death in time he was a judge by taking people and threw them from plane.
tim gallagher says
Condolences over the death of this evil monster. Sounds about the equivalent of sending condolences over the death of Hitler, Stalin, Mao or one of those other scum of the earth. As for this Pope sending condolences for the death of such a mass-murdering, evil piece of shit, what a braindead idiot this Pope seems to be. A moral leader should say, good riddance to such an evil monster, the world is now a little bit better for his absence.

I had to write, and say, there is NO “seems to be”, in your view of this pope being an idiot!!
And the “idiot” is way too mild a word for this pope.
It just seems to me, that your words show something of your lack of knowledge of all the things that this “pope” has said and done, since the day he was made “pope”, that shows how evil this “man” is! And he looks like he wouldn’t hurt a fly, doesn’t he?
You ought to study this so called religion of Catholics, and all the things that are wrong with it, in every sense!
I consider the Catholic religion, second under Islam, so that’s saying how evil I consider that “religion”! So I don’t care for it, at all. So I signed up for a Catholic newsletter, a while back, that keeps me informed of everything that the pope is doing, on down the line of people under him, to the church in general, and etc.
And believe me, they have quite a few videos of discussions with certain people who are in positions in the church, with people in the church, and their discussion is sometimes on how bad this pope is, and how they are trying to work on getting him out of office. That’s how bad he is. He’s into every sin, and says so many things that are against God and so much more. He’s blaphamied Jesus more than once!
I could say so much more, but I have to stop here. But if you REALLY knew this pope, you would be saying what I and many others are saying, and that is, if the Tribulation started any day now, this pope would be in the perfect position, to be the third of Satan’s trilogy, the “False Prophet”!
If this one passes on, you can take it to the bank, that the next pope, will be even more evil than this one, and THAT is saying something.

Reason #90210 why NATO needs to be disbanded:
➤ Condoling the death of a leader who was a part of attacks on one of its members, namely US
➤ Having a spokesperson named Farah Dakhlallah
Rick Olsha says
AM ISRAEL CHAI !!!!
James Lincoln says
So, sleepy Joe expresses condolences for the death of Ebrahim Raisi “The Butcher of Tehran”.
I guess he felt that Raisi he didn’t butcher enough people.
OLD GUY says
The world is a better place without Raisi in it. Sadly there is a long line of MEN just as bad or worse standing in line for his position in Iran. Most of these men don’t care who they hurt as long as they can have power over others.
Scotsman48 says
The entire World should have a moment of joy and not a moment of silence for the man that murdered so many of his own people.
I guess allah thought it was time for him to go.
