The Democrat regime has made it unequivocally clear that they stand for tyranny and oppression.
Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, who is known as “the Butcher of Tehran,” was called out for his oversight of mass executions of political prisoners during his time in power.
Former National Security Council official Richard Goldberg, now a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, emphasized that there should be no word of sympathy from any member of the Biden administration for Raisi.
The State Department issued an official message of condolences for Raisi after learning that he had died in a helicopter crash.
Around the same time, US Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Robert Wood observed a moment of silence for Raisi during a meeting of the UN Security Council.
Raisi was known to lead “Death to America” chants during public appearances.
In February, during a rally in which onlookers burned American and Israeli flags, he criticized the U.S.
for supporting ‘the Zionist regime’s crimes against humanity in Gaza.’ State Department spokesman Matthew Miller issued a statement expressing condolences for the death of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and other members of their delegation in a helicopter crash in northwest Iran.
Ebrahim Raisi was one of the main architects of a 1988 massacre in Iran that killed around 5,000 regime opponents.
At the time, he served on the hardline government’s “death committee” that issued death sentences to scores of political opponents.
In 2019, Raisi was sanctioned by the U.S.
government for his role in committing mass human rights abuses “over three decades.” The United States expressed its support for the Iranian people and their struggle for human rights and fundamental freedoms as Iran selected a new president.
