Israel's Involvement Suspected in Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's Death

Suspicions are running high that Iran's arch-enemy, Israel, was involved in the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who was killed in a helicopter crash in mountainous terrain near the Azerbaijan border. Many people believe that Raisi's demise was a deliberate assassination carried out by Israel.
Former Member of European Parliament Nick Griffin has pointed out that there may be reasons beyond the usual tensions between Iran and Israel for Mossad, Israel's national intelligence agency, to be involved. Griffin notes that Raisi and his Azerbaijani counterpart had recently opened the Qiz Qalasi hydroelectric dam on their border, a megaproject hailed as a symbol of cooperation and friendship between the two nations despite recent political disagreements.
Griffin suggests that improving relations between Azerbaijan and Iran could help to defuse tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which has been a source of conflict. He also points out that Israel has been profiting from the sale of weapons to Armenian fighters in Nagorno-Karabakh, while Iran has supported the Armenians. Griffin concludes that Israel may have had a motive to keep the conflict simmering, as it would benefit the Israeli arms industry.
Iranian State media has confirmed Raisi's death, along with that of his foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and seven others. Some have speculated that Israel may have been involved in the crash, and an Israeli official has denied any involvement. However, there is no evidence to support this claim, and Israeli officials have not commented on the incident.
The theory about Israel's role in Raisi's "killing" has gained traction in light of recent escalations between Israel and Iran, including Israel's assassination of an Iranian general in Damascus and Iran's subsequent drone-and-missile attacks. Additionally, Israel has been known to carry out attacks targeting senior Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists over the years.
