Iranian state media are reporting that a ‘technical failure’ caused the helicopter crash that killed President Ebrahim Raisi and the foreign minister. It happened Sunday in a remote region near the border with Azerbaijan.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has appointed an interim president who must hold elections within the next 50 days. He’s also ordered five days of national mourning. Raisi’s death has prompted mixed reactions from governments and world leaders. What does his sudden death mean for the regime?
