    His ego and crimes against humanity were too heavy for the helicopter.
  • This is a reminder and lesson that no one is immortal. In whatever you do in life always bear this in your mind.

  • He was not the most popular man in Iran . He killed thousands of Iranians who protested against the government. He was called the Butcher of Iran . What goes around, comes around and surely it did .!!!

    For those that don't know, raisi was at one point the head of the unit in charge of the morality police who beat women in the street for not wearing a head scarf.
  • The prayers of the Iranian people have been answered. God made their wish come true.
