Iranian President Raisi and Foreign Minister Abdollahian die in helicopter crash in East Azerbaijan

[Mehdipersian]

IR of Iran has only had 1 other transition of power (Khomeini to Khamenai) in its entire history.

Given the IR is made up of many [often times] competing factions, the SL position is the most coveted spot for each respective group’s faction to achieve their long term goals and comes around very infrequently.

Just look at Saudi Arabia how different internally it became when MBS jumped the line and circumvented the transition process. Before it was just a long list of old dying kings keeping the same conservative viewpoints.

If Iran has the SL position taken by a reformist (Hassan Khomeini or Rouhani) that can spell disaster for the Republic. Much like the last couple Soviet Union presidents before 1991.

And there is no guarantee that whoever becomes SL could match the political prowess and strategic foresight of the current Rahbar. Great leaders don’t exactly fall out of the sky.

A reformist leader is not elected by the Assembly of Experts.

The council of experts is always elected by influential clerics who only care about Islamic Republic.

My sincere condolences to Iranian brethren.
Finding crash side in that weather is extremely difficult and so are the survival chances considering sub zero temperature, rain and Fog.

The last update of the Iranian channels was the news of the Iranian Red Crescent that some people have detected the smell of fuel and are searching in that place.

As we can see here, not even Turks and Pakistanis, which some are our rivals, are rejoicing about this

Only and only sold out diaspora and Evangelical/zionists

It is very sad that the ones that hates Iran are not even foreigners, but "Iranians"

Nobody rejoicing bro.....are you kidding?.......no pakistani would rejoice over this. The issue here is the strange nonsense news coming out. Like for instance the two accompanying choppers heading off back to base leaving the crashed president's/ FM's chopper behind?......Don't that come across as fake news to you? Nobody knows wtf is going on here.

at this point we can only trust foreign news agencies and must assume everything from Iranian sources is a lie

Akinci seems have narrowed its search parameters a lot, must have a reason to narrow it down to this area

Nobody is rejoicing bro. Pakistanis are sad about this situation and they wish the Iranian President the best of luck.

If you meant the post of Lulladapull in Urdu, he did not say anything negative about Iran.

Do we know if assassination/sabotage is ruled out or considered ? Iranian FM was one of better FM's out there. Sad loss if true.

yes ruled out
