Iran Super Thread- Merged

[SeaKingTacco]

Apparently the flight crew thought they’d just made really good time and the cockpit was telling them “Tehran, Tehran”.

That is good.

Really, really good.

I wonder if the supreme leader will be flying to the funeral or taking a car.

What an opportunity

What an opportunity

Imagine a pretty solid HVT list at that event…

Occam’s Razor: straight up, aircraft accident.
Next most likely- internal Iranian politics playing out…

even more most likely - potential foreign agents/agencies engaging in actions to destabilize the region and throw them all into a geo-political war

Tell us you haven’t sought any insight into what this means for Iran’s political system, without telling us you haven’t sought any insight into what this means for Iran’s political system.

The best thing about figure heads.... they are easily replaced, and even easier to remove by those who hold the strings.

He was somewhat more than a figurehead - he put in a lot of real and awful work for the regime - but the sense I’m getting is that the president is almost a sort of deputy to the Supreme Leader. He’s a significant player, but not the boss.

Given the regions penchant for martyrs I think he pulled the ultimate uno reverse card and martyrd himself to cast suspicion on Israel.

Leaders never martyr themselves, it’s just for the young and dumb.

Maybe he’ll be driven in a 1981 Russian Lada.

At least they can still get spare parts for that.

Supreme Leader.

This is the true boss of Iran....like Palpatine without the subtleness.

It is Bell, but, whatever. The joke still lands. Unlike the Bell 212…

From Quora:


The Iranian social media is flooded with jokes about Raisi’s helicopter crash — the oppressed people fight back through humor.

“I think this is the only crash in history where everyone is worried if someone survived.”
“Happy World Helicopter Day!”
Our TV in Türkiye announced, "Bad news from Iran" — and we all immediately responded, "What, they are alive?"
“Big thanks to Russia for making the world’s worst helicopters and to the pilot for being a moron or a hero.”
