The State Department expressed official condolences for the deaths of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian after a helicopter crash in northwest Iran. This move has raised eyebrows due to Raisi's well-documented history of human rights abuses, including overseeing mass executions of political prisoners in 1988. Various figures, including a human rights lawyer and Lithuania's foreign minister, have criticized the condolence gesture, pointing out Iran's record of human rights violations and alliance with Russia.
The U.S. Senate Chaplain also acknowledged Raisi's death, and the United Nations Security Council held a moment of silence in his honor. Despite these gestures, the State Department spokesperson emphasized Raisi's brutal role in repressing the Iranian people and involvement in human rights abuses. Critics argue that offering condolences to someone with such a past sends the wrong message and may validate Iran's oppressive regime.
