On Monday, May 20, 2024, president Ebrahim Raisi died in a Plane crash due to harsh weather in the mountains near the Azerbaijan border, as the government and state officials said on Monday. What this will mean for the current conflict in Iran, nobody knows, but as of now, Mohammad Mokhber is the acting president.

As compensation for the death, 5 days of mourning has been declared throughout the country. Protest leaders and protesters claimed that the crash was “planned”. His funeral is underway currently.

We, the public, will have to wait and analyze the situation and speculate what comes next.
