One estimate notes that the clerical regime, including its current President Ebrahim Raisi, executed NEW YORK, UNITED STATES - AUGUST 01: Iranian Ambassador to the U.N. Mohammad Mahallati speaking Aug. 1 in New York after a meeting with U.N.

To our knowledge, Oberlin spoke to no experts or victims about this issue in its investigation."
