Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has suggested that the circumstances surrounding the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash warrant suspicion, including the potential involvement of MOSSAD, the Israeli intelligence agency responsible for covert operations and counter-terrorism.
Atlantic Reporters reported that Raisi died in the crash at age 63, with CNN confirming his death based on Iranian news sources. The crash also claimed the lives of Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and seven others. This incident comes at a tense time in the Middle East, with ongoing conflict in Gaza and occurring weeks after Iran launched a drone-and-missile attack on Israel in response to an attack on its diplomatic compound in Damascus.
Fani-Kayode, in a post on his X handle on Monday, described the deaths of Raisi and other officials as a monumental tragedy and a significant loss to the world. He emphasized the need to thoroughly investigate the incident and cautioned against readily accepting the official explanation of bad weather causing the crash.
He wrote: “The loss of President Ebrahim Raisi of Iran, along with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and others, is a tragedy of monumental proportions and a great loss to the world. My condolences go to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the people of Iran.
“We still have much to learn about what really happened, but to those accepting the bad weather narrative, I say stop, think, and do not be gullible. Many are questioning whether MOSSAD was involved and if this was a black ops operation. Given the strange circumstances, I would not rule anything out.
“This is a terrible blow to those advocating for world peace and the cause of the people of Gaza and Palestine. Ebrahim Raisi was deeply committed to the Palestinian struggle. May his soul and the souls of those who died with him rest in peace.”
