NATO, UN, and State Department Offer ‘Condolences’ for Death of Iranian President Raisi
Raisi is responsible for the murders of thousands of Iranian political prisoners in 1988.
NATO, the United Nations, and our State Department all offered condolences for the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
I cannot wait to see how they all react when Russian President Vladimir Putin finally croaks.
Holy moly.
The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations even took part in a moment of silence for their deaths.
WATCH:
A shameful moment at the UN Security Council as the US ambassador observes a moment of silence to honor the Butcher of Tehran.

The @statedept send its condolences on the death of Ebrahim Raisi.

Raisi earned the nickname The Butcher of Tehran for his part in the death committee to slaughter political prisoners in 1988. Anywhere between 5,000 to 30,000 died at the hands of Raisi and others.
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini went to extreme lengths to keep his power after he and his thugs overthrew the Shah in 1979. He became supreme leader in November 1979 and fully engulfed Iran by early 1980.
Opposition groups rallied against Khomeini, especially the Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK). The group started gaining support within Iran once the Iranians realized that Khomeini intended to rule with an iron first and implement strict Islamic laws:
The disagreements between the MEK and Khomeini were many. The MEK opposed compulsory hijab (veiling) and emphasized gender equality; they boycotted the referendum on Khomeini’s constitution because it was based on the principle of velayat-e faqih (absolute authority of the Supreme Leader), which they said contradicted the right to popular sovereignty; they rejected retribution and other inhumane laws under the guise of sharia, and they not only denounced any form of ethnic or religious discrimination but also insisted on the acknowledgment of minority rights.
From the first days of the Revolution in February 1979 until June 1981, despite the increased suppression and constant attacks by vigilantes on MEK activists, public support for the organization increased. During this period, at least 50 supporters were killed and several thousand imprisoned for distributing newspapers and other peaceful political activities. Despite all these crimes, MEK never retaliated.
Khomeini’s regime began executing MEK rebels in 1981, including children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
The NRCI noted that Khomeini continued the Iran-Iraqi war after a peace solution in 1982 because it kept the MEK in check. However, once the war started shaking Khomeini’s regime, he ended it in July 1988.
Shortly after the end, Khomeini issued two fatwas, demanding the slaughter of his opposition.
Raisi comes into the picture with the massacres in the Evin and Gohardasht prisons in Tehran. Khomenei chose him as head of the Judiciary, where he gained a reputation as the hanging judge and the Butcher of Tehran:
Some of the survivors of the executions have narrated that they saw Ebrahim Raisi in the corridors and torture chambers of the prison while he was working on the execution cases without religious clothes or a turban and clad wearing comfortable clothes.
Ebrahim Raisi, who proved his ruthlessness during the 1988 massacre and gained Khomeini’s special trust after this massacre, was greatly appreciated by Khomeini and received orders to hold top positions.
In August 1988, Massoud Rajavi, president of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NRCI), told the UN that “just on the 14, 15 and 16 of August, 860 bodies of executed political prisoners from Evin Prison in Tehran were taken to Behesht Zahra Cemetery. Before that, on 28 July, 200 political prisoners who supported the MEK were massacred in the central hall of Evin Prison.”
Executions spread to other cities, with officials citing an “urgent” need to exterminate the opposition as quickly as possible. Hardly any documents survived about executions in cities other than Tehran and Karaj. The list of names provided by the NRCI includes 110 cities.
An audiotape released in 2016 from a meeting with Hussein-Ali Montazeri, who should have been Khomeini’s successor but was deposed, and four of the men in charge of the massacre is Tehran and Karaj, he revealed: “They have done everything in the other cities… They say it was very brutal in Ahvaz … There was a pregnant woman among the executed in Isfahan.”
Montazeri wrote about Khomeini issuing a fatwa to execute Marxist prisoners.
Some say the massacre happened from July to September. Others claim it went to December.
However, evidence exists showing the massacre continued into 1989.
For all clueless Westerners sending condolences in connection with y-day’s death of Islamic regime President Ebrahim Raisi
He conducted thousands of “5 minute trials” in the 1980s & sentenced 5000 innocent Iranians to death
He’s known as “The Butcher of Tehran”

It’s free and may open up something.
How long have we been dealing with deranged Iranian leaders? The only thing they understand is brut force, they need more of it, not less.
Iranians in the chopper deserved to die, now how about the rest of their leaders?
How much money has Iran paid Quisling Joe for his Iran friendly policies? This what we should ask first in regards to everything that he does.
YGBFSM!
No. It’s NOT free and it won’t open up anything other than taxpayers’ wallets to furnish more pallets of cash to the Iranian regime.
This may be one of your worst takes ever. And that’s saying a lot.
Did NATO, the United Nations, and our State Department send condolences for the thousands he helped murder. These are FJB’s and JFK(erry)’s best buds.
You idiot. No one from our State Department sent condolences. Are you insane with your hatred of America?
Son, your circus is missing its clown 🤡 😂😂😂
It is a hard and difficult thing for one American to accuse another American of hating and working against America. But when you send out to the world wide Internet with a message that the United States has sent out condolences for the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, then you, sir, are an enemy of America. And you are an enemy to me. God have mercy on you if you ever meet me in person.
Ooh you’re so tough.
😂😂😂🤡
“God have mercy on you if you ever meet me in person.”
I’m your Huckleberry, Junior.
You might also want to take a gander at this, dipshit.

Please provide one scintilla of evidence that the US sent condolences for his death. Just one. You can’t do it. That is why you hate America so much.

Knowing what kind of garbage Works in our state department it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
Oh will you unknot your panties, you ludicrous buffoon.
As has been pointed out many times here, you’re entitled to your own opinions, but you’re not entitled to your own facts.
Yes they did. The statement from the State Department explicitly sent condolences
Uh, Jr….. you said:
“You idiot. No one from our State Department sent condolences. Are you insane with your hatred of America?”
The US. State Department said, and I quote:
“The United States expresses its official condolences for the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian, and other members of their delegation in a helicopter crash in northwest Iran. As Iran selects a new president, we reaffirm our support for the Iranian people and their struggle for human rights and fundamental freedoms.”

Couldn’t you have taken the 30 seconds that I did to check it out before posting? It kind of makes you look, well – you decide.

Within the article are several Twitter posts; in the 3rd one down is a press release from the US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller contains the image of the official press from the US Dept of State which in the first sentence states ‘The United States expresses ite official condolences…’
Secondly NATO is primarily a US financed/run organization. At minimum the US State Department would have been consulted prior to NATO expressing an official position and had the US objected to NATO offering ‘condolences’ it wouldn’t have happened.
Finally the US Ambassador to the UN didn’t object to that organization observing a ‘moment of silence’. So that’s three strikes on this one. The only possible conclusion to draw here is that the official US Gov’t position was to offer condolences b/c that is exactly what happened.
Here.
US sends condolences on Raisi’s death, faults his human rights record
Of course the Deep State mourned that terrorist. Now one of Brandon’s sources of revenue is closed for a bit.
Condolances to the Iranian people for still being under the thumb of the Ayatollah and his revolutionary guard.
Unbelievable. These Leftist monsters have more respect and humility for this butcher than they do for President Trump.
And Barky and his treasonous minions gave Bin Laden a formal muz burial at sea, as if he had been some sort of dignitary.
Democrats are anti-Western dirtbags who are looking to destroy modern civilization. They are sick, sick, demented, and evil people … some of the worst who have ever set foot on Earth.
I’d like to say I’m surprised but that would be an utter lie. So I’ll just say Good Riddance and I hope he enjoys hell.
Condolences that Khamenei wasn’t with them?
Everything that’s wrong with the utterly emasculated, self-debasing, feckless, unprincipled, gullible, stupid and morally bankrupt western political leadership can be summed up by this utterly nauseating and indefensible act of obsequious dhimmitude towards a Muslim supremacist fanatic, murderer and reprobate.
And, obsequious dhimmitude displayed towards the manifestly evil, genocidal and malignant Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist regime that employed him.
Hear, hear!
100% pure cowboy poetry.
The only thing I’m sorry about is that he didn’t die a painfully horrific death over a long period of time, dying inch by inch as he lost all possible dignity.
Write to your senators to ask why diplomatic niceties for (use your own description of those two monsters) yet no congratulations for Putin for re-electing himself by executive decree?
Make sure you make it clear you detest Putin and feel that the state department should have been consistent by damning the memory of those two monsters.
This a Shia theocracy. Anyone who differs in their outlook is marked for death. As well as their families. The mullahs have not changed one bit in 45 years. Their reign of terror against the people is what keeps them in power. This is what the Nazis would have looked like after 45 years of rule. The only way to make it stop is to decapitate the entire leadership. Every mullah, every revolutionary guard, every general, every civil servant down to the desk level. They have earned the right to meet allah. FJB
Good I hope the Jews are behind the crash 😂😂
Haven’t you heard? It was a Mossad agent named Eli Kopter.
It wasn’t a crash. It was a hard landing. Raisi’s last words on the way down was calling out to a Jewish friend, “Ofek” “Ofek”
“Horizon, horizon”?!
The USA send the Third Reich condolences upon the death of its Führer.
Eli Kopter? Yeah I read about him. I hear his favorite weapon is The Rotary Club…
The faculty at Columbia U. must be in deep mourning.
they are in fact sorry that he is dead
as his contributions to chaos is historical and was instrumental in the
continued lefty run world >>>status quo
not to worry
blmplo has plentyyyy of applicants to replace it
No “austere religious scholar” treatment from the press this time?
