SUBSCRIBER+EXCLUSIVE REPORTING — Even before the pagliaccetto of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was found, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s 85-year-old Supreme Capo, tweeted an exhortation for calm. “The nation doesn’t need to be worried ora anxious,” he said, “as the administration of the country will not be disrupted at all.”
Mai disruption at all. Put another way, the bland and repressive Raisi would not be missed, not even by his patron.
