I’m guessing another one of the Revolutionary Guard candidates, Raisi was detestable in his own right but Abdullahian was worse, as his role in October 7th

The question should be ” is Eli a Kidon?”

But the person who becomes the new president and the person who ends up succeeding Khameini (not necessarily the same person) will be cut from the same stern cloth as the others in the Iranian theocracy. Of the I am fairly certain.

Just exchanging one sack fly blown of excrement for another in a long line of excrement sacks.

I see that the internet is focusing on Mossad agent “Eli Copter” as the assassin.

Grennell must surely understand that his question is purely rhetorical…

The fact is that Raisi is a role model for “Biden”.
“He” would like nothing better than to achieve similar results regarding “his” own political opposition but is, at least for the moment, quite a bit more constrained than “his” role model from doing so. (Well, one can have the audacity to dream…of endless EOs and packing the Court)

Still, “he” should be able to feel a real sense of accomplishment seeing that he’s been able thus far to destroy and/or drive to despair so many January 6 lives—along with the myriad fentanyl-riven Lives of Others—with many more (of both, along with additional, categories of “his” victims) on the way.

Richard Grennell:

Condolences? Why is the U.S. sending condolences for Raisi’s death?

Raisi ordered protesters be killed. He oversaw the systematic rape of women – and demanded gay men be hanged and thrown off buildings.

I doubt that his death makes any immediate difference. With his death, there is one fewer competitor for the succession to the current Ayatollah- Kahmeini. As this means that the leading contender to be the successor to Ayatollah Khameini is now Khameni’s son, this brings forth issues of hereditary succession, which will not go over well with many Iranians. That was one reason for getting rid of the Shah.

Time will tell. Iranians have suffered periodic deaths of higher ups in helicopter crashes, without any great consequences.

He’s one of the reasons why the UN is always eager to give so many Human Rights (especially Women’s Rights) portfolios to Iranian “representatives”….
