In a fog-shrouded forest in Iran’s East Azerbaijin province, a helicopter carrying President Ebrahim Raisi crashed, sparking speculation about the implications for Iran's internal affairs in the event of his death. Behnam Ben Taleblu, an expert on Iranian security, highlighted the growing protests and declining election participation against the regime. Raisi, a symbol of the hard-right shift in Iran, has a controversial past with involvement in mass executions and a lack of domestic support. As president, Raisi supported Iran's enrichment of uranium and security crackdowns on dissent, as well as attacks on Israel in response to suspected provocations.Raisi's potential exit from the political stage could impact the succession plan within Iran's Shiite theocracy, potentially benefiting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's son, Mojtaba. With Raisi's close ties to Iran's supreme leader, his absence may shorten the list of potential successors. Despite his powerful position, Raisi's lack of popular support and controversial actions have raised questions about the future of Iranian politics and the regime's stability.
