Look at the millions for his funeral. President Raisi you left a great legacy and will be missed surely. Will President Biden get a funeral like this? Not…

Breve um novo líder estará no poder e fortalecerá por todo o Iran. A escolha será logo e não demorará. O governo iraniano tem decisão própria.

In the Quranic term Late president Raisi is not dead but as a martyr Allah Almighty says "Do not say martyrs are dead but they are living...". May Allah Almighty bless him, Abdullah Hian and all of them with the highest honor in Jannah. ❤Ameen ya Allah ya Rabbal Alamin

In Iran, we voted for Hassan Rouhani to reconcile with the West and America and even accepted the JCPOA nuclear agreement, but America, by tearing up the agreement and imposing sanctions, made us understand that they are Iran's enemy.

Two facts about the deceased president, Mr. Raisi, whom Mr. Marandi lionizes: 1) Raisi won in a presidential race in which all the famous or charismatic were disqualified from running, thus assuring his success in the race. 2) Raisi was part of a three-member panel that in 1988 executed prisoners belonging to several leftist rebel or opposition groups under peculiar circumstances: all the prisoners had been previously tried, convicted, and given prison terms. Now their old sentences were ignored and they were summarily executed as apostates if they did not repent and affirm belief in Islam. Several thousand were thus executed. This was one of the darkest human rights incidents in the twentieth century and certainly the worst in modern Iranian history.
