Sounds like the crash of the Polish plane a number years back, killing half the government, where Russia was definitely “not” involved.

There’s no conspiracy. There’s a 30 year old helicopter flying in a mountainous area in pea soup. It was stupidity not conspiracy.

Sure sounds like a situation ripe for a little bit of “outside interference” with a great opportunity for plausible deniability.

Why would Russia want to mess with Iran though? They’ve been one of the few countries overtly supplying Russia with weapons.

Russia is by no means the only country that would accident the leader of an unfriendly nation (or any other bothersome individual for that matter).

I mean I hate the shit out of Israel and the US but this ain't it. Israel has nothing at all to gain from doing something like this and turning the figurehead (who doesn't actually present a material loss for Iran) into a martyr. This does everything to weaken opposition to the Irani regime and strengthen said regime and nothing to give Israel an advantage in their conflict with them.

Martyr to who? He’s known as the Butcher of Tehran for a reason. There are plenty of Iranians celebrating.
