The death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi may have complicated consequences for the country's transitional governance process. According to data released by the ISW Institute, Raisi was considered one of the main candidates for the position of Iran's supreme leader, which is currently occupied by Ali Khamenei.
Ali Khamenei appointed Raisi as the head of the judiciary in 2019 and supported him in the August 2021 presidential election.
ISW analysts say that the coming days could change the prospects for Iran's governance, including the choice of a successor to the supreme leader.
However, the death of Raisi is unlikely to change the trajectory of the current regime, which is aimed at strengthening conservative and aggressive measures in both domestic and regional politics, ISW analysts believe.
Earlier, we reported that yesterday, May 19, a helicopter with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on board had a rough landing.
Later it was noted that as a result of the plane crash that occurred on May 19 on the border with Azerbaijan, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdullahian were killed. This information was published by Mehr news agency.
