On Sunday, May 19, news broke that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were killed along with other Iranian officials in a helicopter crash near the Iranian-Azerbaijan border. Raisi, known as the 'Butcher of Tehran' for his egregious human rights abuses, was honored this week at the United Nations Security Council in a minute of silence. The representatives who stood for a moment of silence included United States Deputy Ambassador to the U.N., Robert Wood.
Dominique is joined by her college and Iranian expert, Dr. Farhad Rezaei, to discuss the implications of President Raisi's demise for the regime and the Iranian people. Farhad sheds light on the critical role Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian played in exporting the Revolution through Iran's proxies across the region, including his influential role in Hamas' terrorism and armed resistance. He also reacts to the moment of silence in remembrance of Raisi at the U.N. and how it points to the Biden administration's policy of appeasement with the regime.
Join Dominique and Farhad to understand the implications of these events and what they mean for the Iranian people, region, and international community.
