BREAKING: He’s Dead - The President of the Islamic Republic Killed In Helicopter Crash

President Ebrahim Raisi, known as the ‘butcher of Tehran’, was killed in a helicopter crash on the way back from Azerbaijan.

Ebrahim Raisi, the President of the Islamic Republic in Iran, has been killed in a helicopter crash. He was 64 years old.

Raisi, known as the “butcher of Tehran,” helped to oversee the mass execution of political prisoners in the late 1980s after Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa ordering it. As President, he personally oversaw an escalation of enforcement of the hijab law and a significant increase in state repression against the people of Iran.

Islamic Republic state media aired drone footage of his helicopter’s crash site showed that the cabin of the helicopter had been burned in the crash and that the bodies of the occupants were cold and lifeless.

State media also published a video of the helicopter crash site directly which revealed an incinerated fuselage.
