- Why Iran is Blaming the US for President Raisi's Helicopter Crash | Vantage with Palki Sharma
It has been four days since Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi died. Today, he was laid to rest in his hometown Mashhad, after a three-day long funeral. Theories surrounding Raisi's chopper crash are circulating wide in Iran. While investigations into the matter are underway, some Iranians believe that the US should be held accountable for the crash. Iran's former foreign minister has said that Washington is a "culprit" in Raisi's death. Since the revolution, Iran has been under Western sanctions - which have blocked Tehran's access to modern aircraft. Notably, Raisi was travelling in an American chopper, albeit one that was manufactured 45 years ago. Palki Sharma brings you the full report.

The Iranian government spent lots of money developing weapons but decided to use a 45-year-old helicopter?
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
@@GambuniYaMutura my thoughts exactly
if they're spending billions on the Revolutionary Guard and a nuclear weapons program
they couldn't afford a decent helicopter for their president
so it's hardly the U.S fault
even for driving big rigs. the ones more than 5 years old is too old for big rigs. 45 years on a chopper is alot.
ITS NOT ABOUT EVEN NEW PLANES CRASHES BUT THIS WAHT HAPPENS EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND
A day without blaming US is a day wasted 😂😂
LOL...Right!!
Lol
Every failure of a Muslim is caused by US
😂😂
LOL... true.. this is faison now..bad weather also done by USA..
Well, Iran could have bought helicopters from Russia. They shouldn't be flying 50 year old helicopters.
Iranians living in Canada are very sweet kind intelligent people so happy to be able to get out of Iran
Freedom and peace
annmcveigh3235* Hi Ann, I'm in full agreement with you 🎉 ! Iranians living in U.S.A. are just as same😊 !!! They are very aware about, where their true homes inhabited dwell in their hearts 💞 !!! 💚🌹* 👍🇨🇦🇺🇸 Jerry.🗽
Lesson = dont play with Israel or US.
Your religious fanatism is not enough to save you
It's his religious fanaticism that brought the curse his head
That’s crazy. Iran can make their own helicopters. They knew they couldn’t get replacement parts from the US a long time ago. To fly their President in this old helicopter was their fault.
Surprised OBIDEN didn't give them parts?
They think it is lifetime warranty 😂 or it can fly forever
Exactly, if the helicópter was old why they put the president they should be responsable n not USA c'mon stop the nonsences!
In terrible weather heavy fog.
The problem is that Raisi usually flew in a Russian-made helicopter. But that day he flew on a different one.
Therefore, many people ask the question “why?”
Iran developed drones Missiles of hypersonic speed but the President travels on a Bell 212
I'm tired of writing this here, but...
The problem is that Raisi usually flew in a Russian-made helicopter. But that day he flew on a different one.
@spb4455
They could still afford several Russian helicopters. And if one isn't used or functional, then use the 3rd, 4th or 5th one.
Why use 45 year old copter?
@@MacroSwingTrader "Why use 45 year old copter?"
Exactly.
But who made changes to the usual routine and why.
Moreover, he was not flying alone; there were 2 or 3 more delegation helicopters that flew by calmly. And other sources report that the weather was good.
Scientists tell us that the fastest animal in the world, with a speed of 120 mph, is the butcher of Iran being dropped out of a helicopter
hahaha
😅😅😅
its was a very bad weather.very dark the sky.what happen to this peoples.
LMAOBT HAHA 😄 😆 🤣 😂 😅
😂 superb
How is it the USA fault that you failed to do regular maintenance on your stuff?? Why is the president of a country riding in anything old??
Russia should be blame for not giving Iran a new helicopter.
The problem is that Raisi usually flew in a Russian-made helicopter. But that day he flew on a different one.
They can't blame anyone but themselves. They spend billions on military equipment but fly a 60 year old design helicopter as presidential ride. They got exactly what they setup for themselves. Besides, this very much like a classic case of running into a mountain in a fog like most aviation accidents are.
Yes why not blame your allies for not giving a brand new copter for ur President?
Ap@@tibork3845
It's an absurd remarks to blame american if the iranian know that the chopper was not in proper condition then why still use it!! pathetic
They should check first their own yard, before blaming others'
Iran spent billions of dollars for terrorist but neglects to buy latest chopper..
Exactly!
and they have 40 years to do so
blaming sanctions but the company is no longer operational for over 20 years now
Hypothetically no sanctions was in place for over 10 years for example, they still wouldn't get materials needed for that old ass chopper
Which Terrrorist they spend billions? Are you talking about western countries helping occupier settlers terriorist in billions of aid?
Karma. Justice for the women who got arrested, jailed and murdered in these jails, just because they were not covering their hair. God said so. His God or anyone's God.....Makes no difference.......No supreme intelligence kills innocent women for refusing to be covered up. We all need vitamins D and being covered up is not natural. It is sick. Even during the regime of the Shah, who was far from perfect, women had their freedom. Now, they are covered up incubators and home makers. They don't even count , in that society.......Only men have something to say. See any women in the Iranian regime ? They would be the servants.....
You don’t know anything about Iran … stop listening to CNN and educate yourselves
Actually, Raisi's death was the Iranian army's own stupidity. In any country, a president's journey must be escorted by a plane or helicopter of the presidential guard.
To cover up its stupidity, Iran began to accuse the other side.
Agreed with you
It could be inside job also by Supreme Leader's son
He did, 2 choppers. Greater Iran Map colonials need to learn to read LOL
Exactly
Correct they can supply millions dollar into hamas but they cant buy a new model of helicopter 😂
No one told you to fly in that Chopper! Your Country made the Choice. ITS ON IRAN!
The Iranians could have bought newer helicopters from Russia or China. Brand-new vehicles.
But they were too cheap to buy them and they prefer to fly a 40 year old american helicopter. Unbelievable!!!
And blame US Sanctions 😂😂😂😂😂
funny how they can afford cruise missiles but not a new helicopter!
Because oldnis gold😅😅
People perish because of ignorance
Baseless claim. Iran could have avoided to use the old US chopper.
Maybe Iran wanted to have their leader die so they can have a chance to blame the US for something.
Since the US is soooooooo bad, they should reject aircrafts and cars and travel by camel. And forsake assault rifles for swords.
Iran made the decision to take off in a helicopter in instrument metrological conditions, in mountainous terrain; the idea that the U.S. somehow caused the crash is absolutely rediculous.
This makes me laugh
They did not use the American helicopter.
Iran can afford money for arsenals but cannot afford damnt class helicopter for their President 😂
Iran has nuclear capabilities and yet it has not built its own helicopters?
Blaming another country from your own engineering recklessness or lack of it ,is crazy to me .😒
They're used to blaming others for their own mistakes
They have engineers. Make choppers
Oh dude you might be dumb or trying to act dumb. Every intellectual person knows who is always involved in these kinds of assassinations. History and timeline is enough to understand only if you want to
Not crazy. Political game.
Muslim mindset
He cried Death to America and had a 45 yr old American helicoptet😂😂😂
Thank you...OH ISRAEL
The irony is AMAZING!!
Yeah and unless another country is helping them their equipment is old and wore out all these countries say they have military equipment they don't have
Karma is a very real thing.
The Irony lol
If they couldn't get the parts to replace the old ones.........WHY WERE THEY FLYING IN IT?????
When you think you are so important that the weather doesn't apply to you.
Of course they can never take responsibility for their stupidity
Iran has absolutely no case to blame the U.S.
It was his time it was Allals will he decides the time a man dies and how .simple answer
If this is the result of sanctions then they should further increase sanctions to the evil bastard countries .
Yep just like John f Kennedy
OH THEY HAVE,ITS THERE FAULT FOR ALL BAD IN WORLD
you are correct
Why don’t anyone think that it is an inside work?
Raisi was the supreme leader hopeful until he died.
Now, son of the current supreme leader is the supreme leader hopeful.
So, couldn’t that be an inside work. This kind of act is very common in that part of the world.
I agree you have a point
Yes very much possible
That helicopter says volumes about how weak they are.
Iran should of just bought modern helicopters from there Chinese buddies
NOT ENOUGH social Credit!.
should've, not "should of"
Or Afghanistan, they’ve got all those Blackhawks
Aliexpress and Temu have great ones including 2 X 1.
@@hughjaanus6680grammar Nazi. Lol
"Life is tough, it's even tougher when you're stupid. " the Duke.
Let's try this simple analogy.. USA president has a dedicated plane called air force 1. This is how US leaders are respected.
It's Iran's policies that brought down that helicopter not US sanctions.. if I ran could afford nuclear weapons.. and build up their military then they can afford a helicopter.. that's not 45 years old... Stop blaming the world for your problems.. Iran... Your own people are leaving the country laws and policy... Fix your own country before you blame everything else on the world.
I don't understand, Iran have smarts to make the nukes, but not helicopters ??? 👍🇺🇸 Jerry.🗽
Sanctions
Yes,😂😂
true haha
Exactly 😂😂😂😂
smarts !!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is foolish thing to blame US for knowingly using 45 years old Helicopter that too made by US Company! Instead of financing terrorists, Iran could have invest for new helicopter from Russia!
After 100s of trips in a 45year old copter it is foolish to not blame u.s how many countrys worldwide has u.s invaded n terrorised jus who are the terrorists 😂😂😅😅😅
@@darrylwikohika9068 What does this have to do with using an old helicopter. You're triggered and coping
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Closed minded by hate
@@kygocrysmaine3583 Flagging you for harassment. The Bell 212 is not even in production anymore. Nobody should be flying that old relic.
LOL well why didn't the Iranian president get helicopters from Russia if they knew they're plane had issues
they should be ashamed for using USA helicopter in the 1st place
And computers, cell phones & cars. They hate America & Christians but they'te ok to steal & use American technology.
Bombed Israel with the latest technology but cant purchase a new helicopter. A 45 years old helicopter? Thats plain stupidity.
😂😂😂😂use
What about the weather.
How old do you think our presidents helicopters are that they use to transport him in?😵💫
@@Brianbri-nq3cc Mostly new, cause they get regular maintenance; they don't fly them in horrific weather conditions in mountainous terrain either though
@@Scott.Farkusit wasn’t horrific weather when they took off
Russia blamed US for not supplying the parts needed but didn't provide Iran with the new toy. Clever Russia lol
Russia is after the US with hatred. Just to start a war! That is Russia's motive . Very sneaky
Why don’t Iran buy new choppers? Since they can’t get spare parts
Inside job: someone in Iran wanted this to happen.
Follow up: on sourcing 45 year old aircraft when China and Russia can supply newer models: 45 year old American aircraft are more reliable than brand new Russian or Chinese craft. They are also fairly simple aircraft with minimal computer controlled parts.
Neither China nor Russia gave Iran a helicopter? Instead they use a helicopter going back to the Shah of Iran.
Why did they not buy a brand new Russian or Chinese helicopter?
Chinese ?
@@turbitturbit2781Yes
Russian helis are from the 70s.
Joe gave them 8 billion dollars, why didn't they go buy a 10yr old chopper?
I’m surprised these stupid channels even bother to publish these stupid news
Smart enough to build sophisticated drones, smart enough to build icbm's, smart enough to work on nuclear weapons, but can't build your own parts for 52 year old helicopter. Time to blame Iran.
xactly
Ha ha. You are right. Iran rain down thousand missiles to Israel but they can not make their own Helicopter.
9
If Iran couldn't access parts for the plane, why did they still use the plane more so for the president? They are responsible.
When you make the decision that a 40yr old American helicopter is safer than a new Chinese helicopter..
Your theory would assume that they made the wrong decision and that the Chinese one is better.
As for me, I think it’s crazy how the best case scenario for western elites always seems to happen and it’s “all a coincidence.” Every single time…
I’m beginning to wonder if they have reality manipulation devices, oooorrrr more plausibly, the cia does assassinations and coups just like it’s proven they did in 70+ countries in the 20th century
😂😂😂😂
But why even Chinese or American made helicopters ? Why not their own made?
Because they are too busy telling their women what to wear and what to do while killing lgbtq. Their hands are full 😢 @@sambaemol2476
😂😂😂😂😂 facts
Stop spending money on bombs, and fix your own aircraft
Iran learning the hard way.
Blaming America is easy to do instead of taking responsibility for not updating the helicopter. I'm sure Iran has the money to get a new helicopter for the president. Like the reporter said, why didn't Iran just buy helicopters from Russia or China or other allies? Can't blame America for this. Just looking for ways to anger the people against the United States.
It’s like me driving a 1930 ford model A . Then the car breaks down and blaming Ford?
Hear hear
Easier to blame the US than actually finding out what happened. Pilot; "I would advise we turn back due to the fog." Raisi: "I am president... continue on!"
They weren’t flying in the fog, they had a malfunction and had to descend into the fog ! They were flying above the fog with the other two choppers that one helicopter had a malfunction they had to go down, now! Fog or no fog ! helicopters need a flat surface to land on, with no friggin trees, if you can’t see the ground because of the fog, then you’re gonna crash ! All these conspiracy theories show just how stupid people really are. !
Yep, they no doubt think the US made the bad weather.😊
That was probably what happened. The pilot said no but the president had to be somewhere urgently
Raisi " I'm cold ..Turn the fan off ! "
You guys do know a bunch of your own people are US citizens. You know that right? lol
This is one of the lamest excuses I have ever heard.
Ya, we did it- it WAS after all an American made aircraft. Not the Pilot or Iranian ground support.. Makes sense to me! Thanks Jim S
Why did Iran have more trust in old American helicopters, rather than easily obtaining new one's from Russia or China?
They heard the Word says old is gold😅😅
because 40 years old US helicopters are still more reliable :D
They've spent so much time making too many enemies for themselves that they even forgot they had friends.
That's why it's important to focus on those who love you...
And leave the people who hate you behind.
@@ibraheembabata5187 sure
This is simply unbelievable.
So the Iranian government knew the president's helicopter needed spare parts/faulty but still allowed him to be flown in the thing 😮
Iran have modern Ballistic and cruise Missile and shahed,drone but can't buy a Brand new helicopter for their Pres. 😂😅😂
They are taking chances , thinking their God is protecting them. No Go will protect men who kill women for refusing to cover their hair and wanting their personal freedom. They get no protection......no virgins on arrival, either......They got some explaining to do.
American Sanctions could not allow them to get spare parts. America killed Raisi😢 #ripRaisi
That shows there stupidity😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
@@user-mw4py4xq3wwhy not use military helicopter?
@@noone5581 revolutionary guards should answer that. Si they are in charge of the Presidential's security detail.
45 years but no adjustment? Russia and China, where have they been all this time? Iran can build long range missiles and drones and stuff, but no helis? Bloody hell
MAYBE IT HAD A NEW MOTOR IN IT AND YOUR COUNTRY SHOT IT DOWN??? WE WILL FIND OUT,, that weather map is deleted for that Day Only??? FOOL
They aren't that smart.
You have to be really touched to believe that was just an accident and not an assassination
I didn't know America was the only manufacturer of helicopters
I guess flying a 45-year helicopter into heavy fog had nothing to do with it. But, Iran has to blame someone, it is much easier than to accept the truth that is was just an accident due to poor weather and poor judgement of the pilot.
Bingo ! Exactly !
That fog was ridiculous. Those darn US fog machines!!!
That's the basis of Islam.............We are always right !!!
This is ridiculous! Iran can purchase state of the art missiles but can't buy a new helicopter. 😳
exactly
Exactly 💯
They can't buy those from the US.
But why not buy modern choppers from Russia, who they sell military tech too?
Or better yet the EU, though unlike the Russians, they might also have sanctions on Iran.
they're afraid their budget might get dificit, terrorist will get hungry if they do so
@@TheMeLost Definitely not the EU, but Russia - that's a no-brainer. Russia couldn't give two royal sugars and a fudge about Western sanctions 😂
Who would let their president fly in a chopper that has ZERO parts support and almost half a century old? Nuff said!
45 yrs old with no parts available is already a flying coffin
45 years old helicopter failed, blame it to US conspiracy...genius 🙄
They should thank the US for manufacturing helicopters that actually lasted for 45 years!!
Not Israel?
Seriously these guys tin foil hats are too tight
@@ronmillis8143 well usa have history of interfering in other countries right now usa tried very hard to go regime change in india but i am sure u white supramacist days are over u will soon pay for ur dirty deeds

cause its US made and since its US made they expecting it has a warranty last forever. thats the reason they dont throw ancient helicopter so they have excuse to blame US

How can a president still be using chopper of 40yrs
That shows his not qualified to be a President.
Iran should blame itself they let the President fly in a 1979 chopper.
It was a pilot Vietnam flashback. His last one.

@@leeyang2060 i can understand your pain. Sit down 🪑
Knowing that chopper was 45 years old & not fully reliable, why were you still using it? You could have replaced the old ones you still have with a China made or a Russian made, unless you feel you can trust an old American made more compared to a Russian or China made ones. You have yourselves to blame. Don’t try to look for a scapegoat!

@@tyronearanas1296 the thing is, we don’t even know exactly how the chopper crashed, there’s a chance the chopper didn’t even malfunction
If Russia, China, Venezuela, and others close allies of Iran loved Iran so much, why did they not purchase new helicopters 🚁 for them.? They had more than 30 years to do so. But rather, they blame the Western countries. Silly.
The countries that have the parts beside U.S.A are all American allies who are forbidden to deal with iran or they would be punished by U.S. The same is true for Russia who can’t get parts for their Boeing planes bought from America a few decades ago.
Ask UNRWA they are always ready to help terrorists.
1.They can buy new ones form Russia.
2.They supply weapons and drones to them.
3.They only know to blame Israel/ US and others but they have to blame themselves.

Let's be realistic here. You fly a 45 year old helicopter, in bad weather, over a mountainous region with thick forest. And you wanna blame another country for it??
They want to kill the US all to death
Think about what u said,it doesn’t matter the aircraft,the operator.The aircraft The late Kobe died was a new one.
Can we say Dumbass
What you say is reasonable......but doubting the U.S.A is always reasonable😂
Well said cuz always blame make a U turn and take the blame
No one should operate a helicopter in foggy weather
They are flying a 40 year old chopper with no spare parts available and shotty maintenence and they flew in heavy fog with light rain and they had it painted blue and white out of all colors that blends in with the sky and makes it invisible. Do not blame anyone for your incompetence, do not fly in them!! Or take some of that billions in oil revenue and some of that gold out of the presidents castle and buy a new chopper. That is the most ridiculous acusation I have ever heard of.
Don’t blame the USA for everything!! He just wanted to meet “ ALL HIS VIRGINS”, before anyone else got there first!!! GOD HAD HIS HAND IN THIS!!

It is easy to blame others for our own shortcomings than to take responsibility before catastrophe.
An old adage: He who points first is usually the guilty one.
That was their best helicopter. Wow what a military, so scary.
And I thought they were going to blame Israel, man was I WRONG.
They chose to use an American model. America is not the only place that makes helicopters. This is in no way the responsibility of the United States.

I am very concerned in that it took so long for the government of Iran to come up with a suitable scapegoat.
They were blaming the Americans who had nothing to do with Ebrahim " the Bozo " Raisi's death, give me a break!
They don't even make parts for that helicopter anymore.

Because it's easier to shift the blame than look deeper into who benefited the most.
