Uncertainty in Iran: What next after president's death in helicopter crash? • FRANCE 24 English

Iran's regime just lost a safe pair of hands. Yes, another hardliner is sure to replace Ebrahim Raisi - known to detractors as the butcher of Tehran for the thousands of dissidents he sent to the gallows as a state prosecutor. But the president's sudden death in a helicopter crash may still change the equation - not so much for a presidential election slated by the constitution to be held in 50 days' time, but in the behind-the-scenes jockeying to pick a successor to Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader who is 85 years old and frail. Raisi - himself a cleric - had been tipped as a possible replacement.

Borzu Daraghi : In the Turkish world, you will NOT find a single soul that is afraid of what iran can do to TURKs! You have a mistaken understanding of our psyche. If anything, it is the fars who are afraid of Turks. After all,it was the Turks who ruled iran for a. Thousand years!
