Ebrahim Raisi, a hard-line conservative cleric, helped escalate military tensions around Europe and the Middle East and oversaw strict enforcement of women’s dress codes.
well Raisi specifically was a serious candidate. Ahmadinejad fell out of favours with Khamenei as he was deemed too nationalist, and Rouhani apparently was too weak on foreign policy
Even if that is the case, I doubt he was the only serious candidate. They wouldn’t have been that short-sighted. This is not the end of the regime. This will barely make an impact in the lives of most Iranians.
Hmmmm the guy everyone thought was gonna be leader next suddenly dies and the son of the current leader is now the heir presumptive… I know nowhere enough about Iranian politics and ik it was a heli crash but this sounds suspicious as hell.
