Iranian President Raisi predicted NATO collapse in speech to Russian State Duma On January 2022, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi addressed the Russian State Duma during an official visit to Moscow. He criticized the actions of the Western alliance and predicted that the current behavior of the bloc will lead to its eventual collapse. "NATO is infiltrating the geographical space of various countries under various pretexts and covers, threatens independent nations, spreads the so-called 'Western model'. They oppose independent democracies, oppose the self-identification of peoples, cultures, traditions - all of this is on the NATO agenda, and this is a lie. We see the deceit in their behavior, and this behavior will ultimately lead to the alliance's disintegration," he said. Raisi condemned the West's efforts to impose hegemony on other countries, including through sanctions, and called on independent states to unite against this aggression. "Currently, we see that the strategy of dominance has failed and US is in its weakest position. The power of independent states is further developed. We are going through a historical period of development." Raisi also stressed that the Western countries will not lose their intention to continue their expansionist policies. According to him, their aim is to weaken independent states by imposing economic sanctions and destabilizing the internal situation. Iranian President Raisi died on May 19 in a helicopter crash in the province of East Azerbaijan. Iranian Foreign Minister Hosein Amir Abdollahian, Governor of Iran's East Azerbaijan Province Malik Rahmati, and Imam of the city of Tabriz Mohammad Ali al-Hashem also died in the helicopter crash.
