Iranians around the world are celebrating the death of Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash on Sunday.
Following the official confirmation of Raisi’s death, Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), stated: “This represents a monumental and irreparable strategic blow to the mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the entire regime, notorious for its executions and massacres. It will trigger a series of repercussions and crises within theocratic tyranny, which will spur rebellious youths into action, she said.”
