Tyrants and terrorists mourn the death of Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi: Russia, Hamas, Hezbollah and Syria's Assad praise 'true friend' and anti-Israel groups' 'protector'

Tyrants and terrorists have been mourning the death of Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi after his surprise death in a helicopter crash on Sunday.

The Hamas terror group, Lebanon's Hezbollah militia, Iraq-based armed groups and the Syrian government - all members of the so-called 'Axis of Resistance' against Israel and its Western allies - expressed their condolences on Monday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a statement released by the Kremlin, meanwhile described Raisi 'as a true friend of Russia'.

Iran has been supplying Russia with munitions and drones to support its continued invasion of Ukraine that have wreaked havoc across the country.

Hamas mourned Raisi as an 'honourable supporter' of the Gaza-based group whose October 7 attack on Israel killed around 1,200 people in Israel and sparked the Jewish state's retaliation in the bloodiest ever war in the coastal territory.

Hamas said it appreciated Raisi's 'support for the Palestinian resistance and tireless efforts in solidarity' with Palestinians since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

Iran has hailed the October 7 attack that triggered the war as a 'success' but denied any involvement. In a series of tit-for-tat attacks, Tehran also launched drone strikes against Israel which had earlier attacked sites in the Islamic Republic.

Also among the eight people killed when the helicopter crashed into a remote mountainside in heavy fog was Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, known for his fierce anti-Israel sentiment and scepticism of the West.

Hamas also praised Raisi and Amir-Abdollahian's 'intense political and diplomatic efforts to stop the Zionist (Israeli) aggression against our Palestinian people'.

'Hezbollah in Lebanon extends its deepest condolences,' the group said in a statement, adding that it had known Raisi 'closely for a long time'.

Apologist and appeaser, Chuck Schumer, wants everybody to know the crash was accidental, as if the paranoid Mullahs in Qum aren’t already planning on blaming the US and Israel. Meanwhile, China Joe is reading through a speech written by Jill, blaming Trump and Netanyahu.

Azov guys! Bring your zElenskyy replacement president!

Volodymyr Zelensky cannot be a legitimate president after May 21 under the Ukrainian constitution, Viktor Medvedchuk, leader of the Other Ukraine movement and former head of the Opposition Platform - For Life party (outlawed in Ukraine), said in a recent interview.
