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'.

Has the government of Ireland sent their condolences yet? They mourned Hitler, so why not this guy?
Weird. With all the blood on both their hands, you wouldn’t think they could actually get a grip.
What Chasov Yar doink, Doink?
Hit the jackpot this time!
This guy was one of Iran’s most brutal leaders - and for Iran that is saying a lot. Unfortunately, his successor is no better.

LOL
I was hoping to learn how to UNsubscribe from WeenusFlaccus’ zeepostings.
I noticed in all his photos that he has that brown spot target in the middle of his forehead!
Trump’s prayers working again.
Raisi found out that his plan was different from God’s plan. I am sure he was surprised at the last moment when he realized he wouldn’t make it. So, now what does God have in mind? Who knows, but we will find out soon I suspect.
That wears their main sugar daddy no wonder the filthy scum are crying
Jihad continues apace.
