| Raisi: "We will fly this close to the mountains for the fun of it" |
Raisi's tenure has been rocked by anti-government protests, particularly over the murder of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in 2022 for wearing clothing and not covering her head. Also, the murderous attack by Hamas that killed about 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023 didn't bode well for him and the government due to the fact that normal human beings don't take kindly to racist barbarism.
It was under the now dead Raisi that Iran entered direct conflict with Israel for the first time when Tehran launched a huge missile and drone strike in April, killing many plants and kicking up a lot of dirt in the process. This attack came after the Jewish State allegedly conducted an airstrike on the Iranian embassy in Damascus, killing a pair of Iranian generals, aka scumcrumpets.
The Butcher of Tehran was born in 1960 in Mashbad, Iran and he attended a so-called seminary in Qom at the age of 15. He received his PhD in law from Shahid Motahari University [Go! Sheep Dippers!] and his father, also a man of the blood-soaked cloth, died when little Ebrahim was merely 5-years-old.
As a student, Raisi took part in protests against the Western-backed Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, better known as the Shah of Iran, who allowed Iranians to have fun, wear whatever clothing they wanted to wear, and even listen to music and dance. This bothered Iranians like Raisi and the Shah was eventually sent packing in 1979 in the Islamic Revolution [aren't they all] led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini [aka "the Meanie"].
As deputy prosecutor, Raisi was one of the four judges of the controversial "Death Committee", a secret tribunal set up in 1988 to retry thousands of prisoners who were jailed for their political activities against the government. Most of the prisoners were members of the leftist opposition group Mujahedin-e Khalq.
The now dead Raisi, a man of the bloody cloth and close to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had a long and bloody career before becoming President of Iran in 2021. He served as Chief Justice of Iran and was part of the "Death Committee" responsible for executing thousands of people.

Around this time Raisi started to become closer to Ayatollah Khamenei, but not in a gay way, he claimed. He joined the judiciary when he was a lad of 25, and quickly became deputy prosecutor of Tehran, trained by Khamenei.
As deputy prosecutor, Raisi was one of the four judges of the controversial "Death Committee", a secret tribunal set up in 1988 to retry thousands of prisoners who were jailed for their political activities against the government. Most of the prisoners were members of the leftist opposition group Mujahedin-e Khalq.
Human rights groups estimate that about 5,000 men and women were executed by the "death committee". However, Raisi, who earned the moniker of 'Butcher of Tehran', has repeatedly denied his role in the death sentences, but one reporter who wishes to remain alive anonymous said that he had his hands behind his back and his fingers crossed when he claimed innocence.
The hardline scumcrumpet then went on to serve as Tehran's chief prosecutor. He was elected to the so called Assembly of Experts, [not the same experts who said Covid came from Chinese bats] and was charged with appointing and overseeing the Supreme Leader.

In 2017, Raisi threw his Kolah-e Mozhdeh into the ring in the presidential elections against Hassan Rouhani, who was a moderate, but he lost the polls, garnering just 38% of the votes.
However, just two years later, Ayatollah Khamenei appointed him as Iran's Chief Justice. But his tenure as head of the judiciary was marked with allegations of suppression of dissent and human rights abuses. He was also sanctioned by the US Treasury for his alleged role in domestic repression.
In 2021, Raisi presented himself as a crusader against poverty and corruption and again contested the presidential polls. The elections were stained with allegations that the Guardian Council disqualified several prominent moderate and reformist candidates. Several leaders claimed this was done to ensure Raisi faced no serious competition, much like the Biden administration is attempting to do with former US President Donald Trump, using lawfare in Trump's case.
Raisi secured a historic 62% of the vote, becoming the 13th President of Iran--which as we know, turned out to be an unlucky number as he is quite dead from the mountain put in the path of the helicopter by Israel, Iran is preparing to claim.
However, the voter turnout was just under 49% - a record low for a presidential election since the 1979 revolution.
Raisi's tenure as President hasn't been all roses and rockets. In 2022 the country was hit by a wave of protests after the death of Mahsa Amini as women took to the streets along with some men who may have been simply looking to get a date, or more.

Human rights groups claimed hundreds of protesters were killed in the crackdown by security forces, and we can safely say that with Raisi gone to his reward of 72 virgin goats, the world is a slightly better place.
