Russian propaganda links Kyiv, Washington to Raisi's helicopter crash death
May 20, 2024, 07:45 AM
Russian propagandists are attempting to spin a narrative alleging the involvement of Ukraine and the United States in the accident, following the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in the crash of a Mi-171 helicopter on May 19.
However, the guidelines suggest not overdoing it, limiting themselves to hints that allow the audience to draw the "right" conclusions.
For example, RT's Margarita Simonyan drew parallels between Raisi's death, the recent assassination attempt on pro-Kremlin Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, and the assassinations of U.S. President John F. Kennedy (1963) and Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme (1986).
"Sh*t happens. But it happens most reliably with careful professional preparation by the sh*tmasters," she wrote on social media.
Russian State Duma member and Liberal Democratic Party leader Leonid Slutsky extended this conspiracy chain, adding another link.
"A number of May events, including the assassination attempts on the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the Prime Minister of Slovakia, are being lined up in a certain chain of 'tragic coincidences.' We cannot rule out any versions here," he said, commenting on the Mi-171 crash.
Simonyan's colleague Yevgeniy Popov called the Russian helicopter one of the "most reliable in the world."
"I would not be surprised at all if the crash was the result of an attack on the Iranian president," he said.
Meanwhile, "political scientist" Sergei Markov alleged that edits to the Wikipedia article on the Iranian president indicate the intelligence services of Ukraine, the United States, and Israel were behind the crash.

I wouldn't either, but there are a lot of countries with more motive than Ukraine

Of course they are going to try to make it like we or Ukraine was responsible for the Iranian frick going to screw his 70 virgin goats in the afterlife. How about the dozens of assassination attempts on Zelensky? Hell the closest they got was just last week or the week before when they turned one of Zelensky’s personal body guards but he was thankfully rooted out before he acted. You don’t hear Russia say a peep about that. Want to know who killed the Iranians? Their helicopter pilot. If anyone has watched the video of the weather conditions for the search and rescue tells you all you need to know. They were fricked the moment they lifted off the ground trying to fly through that shite on level ground, much less rugged mountains. I’m sure that poor pilot’s family will get stoned to death or something horrible in Iran because that’s the type of people they are.

I could easily believe that Israel and/or the USA was responsible. Ukraine's special forces probably had the capability to pull it off. However Israel is a much more likely suspect. Of course I am still betting on pilot error.
