Uncertainty over Iran's political future and stability in the Middle East | Ask DW

The helicopter crash that killed Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, along with other high-ranking officials, has sent shock waves across the Middle East. Many different assumptions and unconfirmed reports are now likely to circulate in Iran, said Sara Bazoobandi, Iran expert at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies think tank in Hamburg. Iran's Islamic clerical regime, meanwhile, has been trying to maintain order and normalcy.
The death of Raisi, a hard-liner seen as a potential successor to Khamenei, is likely to reignite the debate about who will become the next supreme leader. While Khamenei has not endorsed a successor, Iran watchers have said Raisi was one of the two names most often mentioned, the second being the 55-year-old Mojtaba, who is widely believed to wield influence behind the scenes. However, some have raised concerns over the position going to a family member, and many believe such a decision will be rejected by large sections of the population.

No Iran is not a player. Iran has no role in the daily lives of the people in Yemen, Lebanon, Syria. If Iran collapses the militias like Hezbollah, Houthis may get dislodged but the lives of the ordinary citizens in those countries will not be affected. Their economies will not be adversely affected. Even before the sanctions Iran did not export food, motor equipment, expertise to these countries. There is nothing in your supermarket that is made in Iran.

No, he not coming back. Iran is going down hill. There policies have really destroyed their economy. Inflation is running at 44%, Israel wants start a war with them and their technology and manufacturing is so bad that even the Supreme Leader is realizing he needs the West to stay a modern industrialize society.
