Shameless. Why do you send condolences while they continue killing their own people and has hands on terrorist groups...? He is responsible for thousands of executions of innocent political prisoners 1980s and today. Not acceptable. He deserves worse punishments than only one worthless crash. With this you are disrespecting suffering Iranian people. Its all about dirty politics with dirty politicians. Disgusting!

[@rupertcortes3980]

Yes you right I don't understand why US government send condolences?

[@Semper_Iratus]

[@alrent2992]

How ever bad he was. The disgrace towards the women in Iran was awful. That didn't bring the helicopter down. Poor route planning. Flying in fog is a no- no. Human error, etc.

Shame on VOA and authorities who are in tears for the butcher of Tehran.

[@citizenenak]

Don't we in the US have a horrible human rights record regarding the very citizens our nation was created for from those very citizens who conceived of the idea of our democracy?

[@19jarhead66]

The difference, the U.S. fought a war among themselves to change the horrible things that were happening to our people. The Iranian government continues to this day, the killing of civilians or anyone that disagrees with Iran’s policies.

Iranians are some of the most wonderful & adorable people in the world. In Middle East I would say the Persians are the most intelligent people in the entire Islamic world. This mad regime has sunk the country & it's people which would have been a regional superpower otherwise. Had the people got the opportunity & atmosphere to show their skill & ability. Persia would have been among the richest & a blessed countries in the world. There are highly educated youth in Iran who have no means to display their knowledge or what they can give as they are cut of from the world due to sanctions. Imagine with much so natural resources & free oil money, what the country could have achieved if the Gov.t had invested in the people & country. Sadly a common man is facing unwanted decades of sanctions & hardships like unemployment, Inflation & oppression. There is no freedom of speech or any say in the country's affairs, when 70% of country's money is drained in funding terror & war of Middle East. Hundreds of thousands are paid to Terrorists for their salaries & building terror infrastructure when they should be spending these money to their public as salaries & their own infrastructure. Billions are wasted on these proxies with weapons for Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah & terror networks in Iraq, Syria, Kurdistan, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Balochistan, Afghanistan & other Islamic countries. Really sad the people are helpless to change this uncalled fate We Indians wish to see a free Iran. Hope this is the beginning of the end of this Mad Islamic Oppression. God Bless my Persians - Keep fighting & don't lose hope my Brothers & Sisters. Love from India. Same goes for my Afghan Brothers & Sisters. Hope we see a peaceful & prosperous world. Good Luck my Parsis. Give this world peace. Dump & eliminate this Islamic madness
