Former actress Noor Bukhari has paid tribute to Iran’s President Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi who died in a helicopter crash this week.
Noor Bukhari posted a photo of the late Iranian president on her Instagram account, writing in the caption, “Syed Qurbani de gaya hai … ab khair any waali hai ummah ke liye. Want ke yazeed countdown started”
(A Syed has sacrificed himself; now good news is coming for the Muslim Ummah, and the countdown for Yazid has begun.)
Raisi’s funeral was held today in his hometown after two days of processions attended by thousands of mourners.
Raisi, 63, died on Sunday alongside his foreign minister and six others when their helicopter crashed in the country’s mountainous northwest while returning from a dam inauguration.
His final resting place will be at the holy shrine of Imam Reza, a key Shiite mausoleum in the northeastern city of Mashhad, where the ultra-conservative president was born.
