  • BBC just reported that Iranian state media has confirmed their deaths:

    President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and several others are confirmed to have been killed in Sunday's helicopter crash in north-western Iran, state TV says.

    • Are the downvotes because we don’t like the prospect of WWIII? Don’t like Iran? Think this was disinformation rather than just a joke (critiquing the precariousness of the world right now)? Or do we support state-sponsored assignations?
