Peace upon him and all those that were with him in the incident.
He will be remembered as a wise and brave leader.

Contrary to what the West thinks, Raisi was well liked by Iranians and skillfully led one of the most prosperous periods of Iran. He will be missed, RIP.

Whomever wants to comment on the hearts and minds of us Iranians, take note. We love our country and our beloved Government. We love our Supreme Leader and we will always stand with our Government!

Killing of Ebrahim Raisi is a total failure of government of Iran. Establishment of Iran never takes lesson from previous incidents.
Iranian leaders and generals are of nomadic nature. They can't stay at their residence even during war times. Quasim Sulemani was killed in a drone attack When he was moving with his convoy. Mr. Raisi came to Pakistan without receiving a warm welcome and proper protocols from Pakistan due to fear of America, that time I understood that he might be an easy prey and soft target of enemies of Iran.
What a foolish establishment and idiotic intelligence Iran has!
Even a layman in the world except Iran knows that Ilham Aliyev of Ajerbijan is a true friend of Israel and Ajerbijan is the biggest ally and partner of Israel after America. In such a condition how Raisi agreed to accept an invitation from Ajerbijan for making an official tour to Ajerbijan. Where were Russian and Chinese intelligence for giving prior warning to their ally. Russia is so introverted that it always plays defensive. China is a country of sellers and hawkers. It may be an economic giant but it will never be a super power.
Iran has a failed government and failed intelligence that passed the official visit of Raisi to Ajerbijan. Suppose ! Even after getting invitations for one hundred times from North Korea would Zelenskyy visit North Korea the ally of Russia?

What a pity and shame that Iran doesn't have modern and technically advanced helicopters for its President. American chopper Bell 212 developed in 1960s and its first flight took place in 1968 proved to be a flying coffin for Raisi. Iran should formulate a foolproof security policy and should adopt a non penetrating and North Korean type of security system for its leaders, generals and scientists.
Houthis, Hamas, and Hizbullah are cleverer and more cautious than Iran.
