Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has expressed caution regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, noting that he would not rule anything out
He suggested all possibilities, including involvement by the Israeli intelligence agency MOSSAD, should be considered.
Raisi, aged 63, died in a helicopter crash along with Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and seven others.
Fani-Kayode, in a statement posted on X, emphasized the need for thorough investigation into the incident, cautioning against accepting the initial reports attributing the crash to bad weather without scrutiny.
He described the incident as a tragedy of monumental proportions and a significant loss to the world, especially in the current volatile Middle Eastern context.
“The loss of President Ebrahim Raisi of Iran together with that of Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and others is a tragedy of monumental proportions and a great loss to the world.
“My commiserations and sincere condolences go to the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the Government and people of Iran.
“We still have much to learn about what really happened but to those that so readily accept the bad weather narrative that is being put out as the cause of the crash I say stop, think and do not be so gullible and naive.
“Many are asking whether MOSSAD was involved and whether this was yet another black ops operation?
“This remains to be definitively determined but given the strange circumstances of the “crash” I would not be too quick to rule anything out.
“Whichever way the whole thing is a terrible blow to those that are interested in world peace and particularly to those of us that believe passionately in the cause of the people of Gaza and Palestine.
“There was no individual that was more committed to the Palestinian struggle than Ebrahim Raisi.
“May his soul and the souls of those that died with him rest in peace,” Fani-Kayode wrote.
