TL;DR

The United States will boycott a United Nations tribute to Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash, citing his involvement in severe human rights abuses. The U.N. General Assembly traditionally honors deceased sitting heads of state, but the U.S. official stated that Raisi's legacy of oppression and extrajudicial killings makes him unworthy of such a tribute.
