Israel says 'it wasn't us' after Raisi Iran chopper crash sparks finger pointing
[NEWARAB] Israel has denied any involvement in a helicopter crash that killed President Ebrahim Raisi on Sunday, following finger-pointing on social media about alleged culprits.Hardliners Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and other senior Iranian officials perished when their helicopter crashed into a mountainside in bad weather with search-and-rescue efforts hampered by thick fog. While there has been no confirmation about the cause of the crash, some people on social media have accused Iran's regional enemy, Israel, of being behind the incident with the two countries clashing in recent weeks. "This is the footage of the crash of the chopper that killed the Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, yesterday. The hand of Israel is strongly being discussed in Iran. Are we staring at World War 3?" one person speculated on Twitter. Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate itself has not accused Israel but the incident came amid heightened tensions between the two countries related to Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... and Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... , where Tehran supports Hamas  ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...and Hezbollah. The fact that the helicopter was returning from Azerbaijan - an Israeli ally - when it plunged into the remote wilderness of northern Iran did little to stop the finger-pointing. "It is noteworthy that the last meeting of the Iranian President was with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Israel has established an intelligence base, an airfield, and an agreement to develop two new surveillance satellites from Azerbaijan. All of that is about Iran," wrote British-Iraqi rapper Lowkey.
