Did Israel assassinate Iran's President? 

No accident. This was sabotage.

i dont believe it to be an accident

“The Palestinian cause is not a cause for Palestinians only, but a cause for every honest person living in this planet.” ~ GHASSAN KANAFANI Thank you Dimitri for your coverage of important issues . Free Palestine

CIA & MOSSAD DID IT.

We know that Israël has a habit to assacinate Iranians. Science, military, politicians etc.

Russia will send aviation experts to inspect the wreckage. They will find out pretty quick what caused the helicopter to go down.

That was an assassination especially that we now know that there are Israeli bases in Azerbaijan. It's a no brainer.

The government of Azerbaijan should be investigated and all those that were at the dam inauguration.

Who is the worlds terrorist capable of pulling it off?

It is evident that they were targeted. A lot of people are unaware that the majority of the Iranian leadership have either been assassinated or been victims of assassination attempts since the 1980's. Including the current supreme leader who survived at least 4 known attacks, one of which left him with a paralysed right hand

I hope you two will have these discussions on a lot more regular basis. Thank you Dimitri and Laith both for what you are doing

There were two accompanying helicopters and it takes 18 hours to find the helicopter carrying the important passengers? What a confusing story!

We’ll soon find out when a full investigation is complete

Free, Free, ETERNAL PALESTINE ❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️

its in Israel's interest to escalate....

I just want to know why they were all on the same helicopter when there were 3.

SABOTAGE.

azerbaijan and israel are in good relation, no way that the heli of the president Rahimo Allah crashed accidently

100% no accident.

*The more I hear, the more depressing is the news.*

so sad.. another tragedy... 🌿💔🙏

There’s a reason we’re all suspicious!

I remember Dimitri and Laith Marouf, surveying the destruction wrought by Israel in Lebanon a some months ago. Keep up the important work gentlemen. Well done.

The USA was trying to get Iran out of Bolivia in South America as the USA wants Bolivian Lithium.

Great discussion with 2 amazing people.

I normally follow “The Duran” for daily updates of geopolitical analysis, and I’m happy I find one more worthy of listening to. Thank you! ❤

I hate to say it, but as an American It honestly sounds like an initial failed Assassination attempt by taking down the plane that had to be followed up in order for it to be completed by most likely messing with things like GPS which is why it took people so long to find the crash site. I mean if someone took the plane down, they would know exactly where it was going down and probsbly already planed to verify casualties so they would get there a lot quicker than people who werent expecting it and whose GPS navigation was hacked or downed to purposely cause a delay. The Current US Government is made up of 2 corrupt parties (Both DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS) that have spent DECADES assassinating, overthrowing and purposely destroying opponents to their hegemony. Hopefully despite the millions being spent to manipulate our upcoming election the majority of voters will know they have the option of Jill Stein for US President who is anti-war and wants the US to be part of a multipolar world. They are spending millions to prevent her from getting exposure and Mainstream media hides her, but she is probably the only thing standing between the current hegemony and WW3. She is infact hope for not just US citizens but citizens who have suffered under US Imperialism for decades. If voters know she exists and dont fall for the fear mongering threats of our current uniparty, monopoly of the Democratic and Republican parties there is hope for us all! They fear her, I know this because if they didnt they wouldnt have hired teams of lawyers to try to keep her off ballots , especially in states like New York (she only has 4 more days). She's constantly talking about bringing back what was called church committees, which would have been the police/watchdog group over organizations like the CIA. Her number one goal is shutting down the eight hundred plus military bases that are illegally occupying other countries around the world, amd currently used to intimidate and manipulate instead of help. But more so she is jewish, Anti-zionist, and not only calls what is currently happening in Palestine a genocide every chance she gets, she is demanding ALL FUNDING OF the State of Israel by the US Cease entirely Because it is in fact against Not just international law but also US Law for our current Government to even be sending them a penny. She has been attempting to fight for the rights of palestinians for decades and almost every time she is given a platform she repeatedly states this did not start in October 7th. So both the Democratic and Republican parties are spending millions of dollars to prevent her from ever being elected. They even went so far as to fund a 3rd party candidate R.F.K who is funded by and owned by APAC because they were being accused of hiding 3rd party candidates so they paid for one of their own and permit Mainstream News networks and US owned social media to show only him as a possible 3rd party candidate. Over 65% of the United States is demanding change and peace and there is hope they just don't all know there is.😢 The US is not a democracy and our media is strictly censored to prevent any change in power.

Just want to add in, this reminds me of one of the instigating factors leading up to WW1 was the assassination of the archduke Ferdinand of Austria.

the Pakistanis understand the feeling when their leaders were taken away forcefully

The Helicopter mysteriously flew into an US supplied Missile ?

@13:57 Israel attacked Iran. Iran retaliated. Get it right.

Thank u for calling out Kahn. This is exactly what I felt when he issued his most biased statement. It's so disgraceful. And I'm enraged!!

No one believes it is coincidental. Not even the persecutor of the ICC.

Very important conversation gentlemen,two great minds thinking out of the box❤❤❤please keep us informed on further thought and info,thank you and Reapect,

Excellent discussion and insights... Thank you for an alternate voice

I'd have thought 2 helicopters wouldnt lose the helicopter they were escorting!?

What horrors are unfolding; such losses of these moral heroes! My sincere condolences to the Iranian people, the Resistance, and all countries struggling for their liberation from evil western empires. Yet, the Resistance in Gaza is winning; this is going forward! And the world order has changed! The tide is turning! Thank you so much for keeping our eyes opened comrades 💖🍉✊🏽

The prime suspect is the one who jumped up immediately after the crash was announced and declared: "It wasn't us."

My question is, why ON EARTH, did they elect to fly in poor conditions? Even if the weather changed suddenly, how could they not know that a severe weather system was heading towards the flight path? Whoever made a decision to fly, had very poor judgement.

Thank you for this interview Dimitri. You are so right on the important implications of this event! Never give up. We need your fesrlessness

It seems that Iran's security is severely lacking in effectiveness in securing its officials

Why the f*k they use American helicopter? Why did he even go when the weather is so bad? How come other two helicopters returned safely?

They set a trap for him.

This was ASSINATION.

When helicopters crash you will find lots of helicopter parts. This you barely see anything left. Also 2 helicopters just kept going. Are they trying to say they didn’t know President was missing? Something stinks

Any intelligent life knows he was killed.

Aljazeera reported this moring that the cockpit of the chopper was completely blackened.

It doesn't matter. The policies won't change

Holy shit. If they end up finding hard evidence, shit is gonna get real.

It can’t be an accident.

Iran says there was one survivor who did call out. He had said he wasn’t in good shape. Apparently he was alive for about an hour, but then succumbed to his injuries.

Thanks a lot Dimitri.

Thank you, Dimitry. Thank you, Laith, I have no words to express my sadness. The evil force must be defeated, n hopefully soon. Rip, President Raisi, n team. You will be remembered. Iran will flourish, together with the rest of the world that seeks peace, n prosperity.

Not to wander off too far into the conspiratorial weeds, but the crash President Ebrahim Raisi’s helicopter reminds me distinctly of theories concerning the fatal crash of a plane with “the Senator from the Left,” Paul Wellstone onboard in 2002. There are similarities. For instance, Wellstone’s pilot did not make a distress call and appeared to have lost all communications and electronics prior to the crash. Theories abound on that unsolved crash eliminating an inconvenient and hated Senator, too radical for a bought and paid for Congress. One theory holds that an electromagnetic weapon was used to disable all electronics on the plane, essentially killing navigation and allowing it to crash. Such weapons exist, and indeed existed and were used in Iraq 20 years ago, a year after Wellstone’s plane crash. General Atomics and Boeing designed an an EMP-laser weapon mounted on a variety of platforms. Such a platform, for instance a truck, could have been hidden in the heavily forested area on either side of the Azerbaijan-Iran border. There are also VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR) devices that can trick onboard electronics. Again, I have no idea if this has any credibility at all, or if it is even possible, but I realize the US has a number of weapons they are developing, that are developed, information of which has not been released to the public. Considering US bases and reported Israeli Mossad activity in Azerbaijan, and the viciousness and psychopathic behavior of both governments, it cannot be ruled out. Then again, it could have been poor pilotmanship and the fog. We may never know for sure.

According to the'radar 24' report, signify 2 Israeli F35 were seen in that area earlier, and a drone was also spotted in the radius..

When the lion is away the hyenas rejoice.

Very insightful, thankyou.

Excellent analysis site !

FICO, RAISI - WHO IS NEXT?

Right on Dimitri! Fully agree. Disappointed to say the least in the ICC!

Best commentary I’ve heard on the apparent sabotage assassination, by far

One of the most interesting, candid, and factual interview I have ever seen in decades. Gentlemen, I salute you.

This is extremely sus. The other helis didn't have any problems, they didn't lose contact with each other which is weird cause the prez heli was in the middle, so those two were sort of like escorting it on the sides. How did they lose contact with the heli closer to them? Why didn't they have problems with the fog, as someone mentioned these helis don't really need to operate visually, they got radars so even in thick fog it shouldn't have been a problem. Also the pilot didn't send any mayday requests. It's like the electronics were totally fried.

Karim Khan needs to be fired; he’s incompetent!

Thanks, gentlemen, especially in regard to President Raisi's (and his assistants') death. And to Dimitri: You've outdone yourself in today's "rant". You know, as an African, I celebrated when the ICC was established, and denounced those who were quick enough to recognize it for what it's proved to be: a brazen and shameless tool of Western imperialism. How, I wondered, could anyone object to any attempt to bring our monstrous warlords to account? I'm sorry that it took me so long.

Shame on ICC and Karim Khan, QC.

Can someone explain to me how 2 survivors of crash radioed in, yet when they arrived everyone was dead??

Great Analysis!

My first time on your site, and why I did not know about you before? Amazing interview, you touched on all the points that were my questions. The information presented here is not something you hear anywhere else on the net.

Brother Laith, the Arab counties sharing waterways with Iran is called Persian Gulf not Gulf.

Operation Rafah came across as a distraction - and this event is an indication of where the main focus was directed. Just a hypothesis Dimitri.

Thank you so so much for expressing emotion. I am so so so so sick of all this emotionless commentary, even from alternative media

Thank the CIA and IDF.

Karim, is also on a list,😂😂😂😂he should be banned and put in jail for his silence of what was happening in Palestine for the last seventy decades. What about that? Where was the court then?

Is Dropping dollar as the exchange currency the reason? Just like it happened with Saddam, Libyan Gaddafi.

I was thinking exactly what Laith Marouf said before watching. Good analysis

Looks like something fishy going on here 100 per cent

inalilahi wa ina ilihi rajun

President of Iran's Crash happened just over the border with Azerbaijan which provides Israel with ‘oil and access to Iran’ in exchange for weapons, says Ha’aretz.

I’m glad that the host drew a parallel between the Turkish occupation of the northern part of Cyprus that includes forced displacement of indigenous Cypriots (and the settlement of Turkic or eastern anatolian settlers into the island) with the Euro-centric Israeli occupation of Palestine. If we talk about a free Palestine we also have to talk about a free Cyprus

Consideration should be given to Mossad agents inside Iran involved in planning the itinerary of Raisi with the plausible deniability about incompetence - old helicopter, two officials in one vehicle, poor weather, not tracking the flight better, etc.

They (the killer) messed up with GPS and helicopter in Azerbaijan then the killing happened…hypocrisy

"An account called "Israel War Room" on the Social Media Platform "X" (formerly Twitter) posted a message that was blank except for . . . a picture of a little helicopter:" 7:48am 5/19/24 Look at the TIME STAMP on their posting . . . . how would they have even known the Helicopter went down, to boast about it, when almost no one else in the whole world knew at that hour?" From Hal Turner radio post entitled:Evidence Is Now Appearing Indicating the Iran Presidential Helicopter Crash WAS an Assassination

Raisi did launch an attack on Israel as retaliation for Israel attack on Iran's embassy. For the West, however, there is no. context ever

Thank you for such a fair, informative and humane conversation. Both of you are brilliant. Best wishes for you.

3 helicopters moving 2 reach back and 1 didn't and it so happen to be president and FM hmmm come on it smells fishy

Nobody believes it's was a fatal accident.

Every time something bad happens, then some other major disaster happens. Almost every time it seems.

Things are going to be a changin in our world! I just hope we all don't get caught up in it!

You may say justice has not been done. But this is war between the good the bad and the ugly.

- President of Iran Ebrahim Raisi 💀 -Ali Hashim, the official representative of the Ayatollah in East Azerbaijan region💀 - Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran Hossein Amir-Abdollahian💀 - Governor of East Azerbaijan region Malik Rahmeti💀 - Mousavi, the head of the security service of the President of Iran💀 - Helicopter pilot Mustafavi💀 - Assistant pilot Daryanosh💀 - President's defender Muksen💀 - Kadim, who is responsible for the technical repair of the helicopter💀

Black boxes are indestructible. That should provide essential info.

That was an interesting conversation. As we feel powerless in intervening, there is at least this perspective of a parallel discourse and eventually actions to neutralize the worst that we are not interested to foresee.

Outstanding discussion, thank you both!

Excellent information. Thanks to you both.

Some politicians of the two most hated countries are now celebrating!

Iran announced that Iran had the Atom and two days later he was dead. Not a coincidence.

Who else would do that ..israel have base and militry corporation with azerbaijan ..

"It matters not what puppet is placed upon the throne, he who controls the money supply, controls the Empire"

Did the helicopter had a black box?
