Tsargrad: The assassination was “organized at the highest level.” An “excruciating death” is a signal to Russia and China. “They are killing everyone who supports Russia and China.” — sources
It is reported that local authorities promptly sent 8 ambulances to the site of the alleged crash. Earlier, the IRIB TV channel reported that the situation is seriously complicated by weather conditions, which prevents rescuers from reaching the scene of the incident, said Tsargrad columnist Ilya Golovnev.
According to the latest information, the location of the helicopter of Iranian President Raisi was found, rescuers are approaching the scene. This is reported by Press TV.
Immediately after the incident, Israel was quick to deny its participation in the crash of the helicopter, on board which was Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and the head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry. Earlier in the Arab media, there was a version that the crash of the helicopter was an attempted assassination of Raisi, carried out as a result of sabotage by Israeli security services in collusion with Azerbaijan, with whose leader the Iranian leader had met not long before the crash.
Azerbaijan is a latent ally of Israel. If it turns out that Raisi was killed, all this will end in a big Transcaucasian war,
- says war correspondent Alexei Zhivov.
Ayatollah Al-Hashem, the governor of Eastern Azerbaijan, was also present in the helicopter. According to some reports, the vehicle made a hard landing near the village of Uzi. The area is inaccessible, making it extremely difficult for rescue services to operate.
The Mehr publication initially reported that Raisi was alive, but the news was hastily deleted afterward. Later, the US publication Politico wrote that the incident involving the Iranian president is “serious” and “there is a high probability of injuries.”
The Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) also reported that “some unofficial sources say that some companions of the Iranian president died an agonizing death” at the crash site.
Assassination versions
At the same time, a security source in Iran believes the helicopter may have been shot down:
“This puts us in front of a very serious and dangerous security event. We are facing the possibility of a “major assassination attempt” or an actual assassination.
Political scientist Sergei Markov points out that if it is indeed a terrorist attack, Israel could be behind it. It could also be radical Sunni Islamic groups. And, of course, there is always a threat of a terrorist attack from the three main terrorist organizations in the world: ISIS*, the SBU, and the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s GUR. For all of them, #Iran is an enemy.
In turn, US officials believe that Iranian President Raisi has been assassinated. Biden was informed about the situation with the helicopter. A short time later, journalist Arash Azizi published an article for The Atlantic, where he also claimed that his sources had reported the death of the Iranian president.
If so, we should remember who killed IRGC General Qassem Suleimani. And it was done by the US,
- reminded military blogger Sergei Kolyasnikov.
He also recalled a series of “coincidences” that have occurred recently: on May 15, 2024, an assassination attempt on Robert Fico; on May 15, 2024, media reports about the prevention of a plot to overthrow President Recep Erdogan in Turkey; on May 16, 2024, Serbian police in the north of the country detained a man for threatening President Aleksandar Vucic; on May 19, 2024, a helicopter crash with Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi and the Foreign Minister. And the assassinations of General Suleimani and IRGC generals during an Israeli strike on the Iranian Consulate General.
The #US and #UK have opened a new chapter of #terror in their #history. All pro-Russian and pro-China politicians in the West should double their caution and security,
- writes Kolyasnikov.
Chinese scholar Nikolai Vavilov holds a similar opinion:
They have moved to the last stage - they are #killing everyone who supports #Russia and #China, apparently, things are not good at all and the failure of the West’s strategy after Putin’s visit to China has become as obvious as possible.
