The information is being hidden because this news could lead to chaos in the country.
Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi has died, and now the authorities are thinking about how to inform people about this.
Arash Azizi, a senior lecturer in history and political science at Clemson University, writes about this in an article for The Atlantic . According to him, this information was given to him by a source close to the president in Tehran.
“Raisi’s death has been confirmed and authorities are looking for a way to communicate the news without causing chaos. I have not been able to independently confirm this,” he wrote.

Strange, very strange. (Unconfirmed)
US continues to stay tight-lipped

Reporting from Washington DC, USA
US officials are being very careful with their wording and we haven’t had any further comments from them since being told that President Biden has been briefed on the situation.
The US State Department that they are indeed closely monitoring these reports.
This is happening at a particularly sensitive time. Just last week, we’ve heard reports of US and Iranian officials meet indirectly in Oman. The topic of those conversations was how to contain the current Israeli war in Gaza.
And of course, we know that as Iran continues to suffer with its economy, much of the blame has been put on the US sanctions that have really crippled the Iranian economy.
“Just last week, we’ve heard reports of US and Iranian officials meet indirectly in Oman.”
Oh, right. So, did Netanyahu order Mossad to kill Raisi, in order to finally get the war with Iran he always wanted? I wouldn’t rule that out. 😕
US congressman gloats over Raisi crash
Commenting on unconfirmed reports that the Iranian president was harmed in the crash, Republican Congressman Mike Waltz appeared to welcome the purported news.
“Good riddance. Raisi was a murderous human rights abuser before and during his Presidency,” Waltz wrote in a social media post.
“But look for the Iranian regime to blame Israel and the US for an assassination as another excuse to support terrorism.”
It’s such a shame…
…that Khamenei wasn’t on board as well.
I highly welcome this news. Good riddance to this piece of shit.
Now, if only the rest of the murder gang in iran, mafia land, china, and north korea would get into specially prepared choppers for their last flights, the world would suddenly be a better place.
Thank you, Lord, for doing the right thing on Pentecost Sunday!
Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro ‘deeply saddened’ by Raisi’s death
The Venezuelan president has expressed condolences to Iran and its Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, saying that Raisi was an “unconditional friend” of Venezuela.
“A heartfelt hug from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. You, Iran, are an example of dignity, morality and resistance,” Maduro wrote in a social media post.
Bah! 😷
