Hardline Islamist Judge Ebrahim Raisi Wins Iran's Presidential Election

 

The Guardian: Iran’s president-elect, Ebrahim Raisi, is hardliner linked with mass executions 

Raisi has been accused of systematically sending as many as 3,000 people to slaughter in late 80s 

If Joe Biden thinks Vladimir Putin deserves to be called a killer, his description of Ebrahim Raisi, the 60-year-old president-elect of Iran, is likely to be unprintable. 

The youngest member of the 1988 Tehran death committee, Raisi has been accused of systematically sending as many as 3,000 people to slaughter. 

When he was head of the judiciary floggings and executions flourished, yet many see this election as a staging post to his becoming supreme leader when Ayatollah Khamenei dies.

you say 3000 dead but many sources put the number at 30,000. Difficult to say because the Iranians covered up the deaths.

The election of Ebrahim Raisi, who committed crimes against humanity by secretly executing thousands of Iranian political dissidents in 1988, reveals clearly to the world the bloodstained government of Iran. Yet the corrupt Biden administration will ignore this and even pay the government of Iran money, and also allow Iran to develop the nuclear weapons by which they will attack Israel with. The Democrats are traitors to the people of the United States, and the world.

This election appears to be a result of the current rulers. I find it difficult to believe the voting results were a representation of a majority of Iranians eligible to vote.

White House said "we shall continue to talk with Iran about the 2015 agreement".
That's the very attitude of Chamberlain in 1938 with Hitler in Munich. The atomic bomb will not be only for Israel but for America too.
