It’s been an eventful week in the news with the unexpected death of Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash that also took seven other lives - including that of the Iranian Foreign Minister - near the country’s border with Azerbaijan on Sunday, the 19th of May.
We explore the major consequences that is having on Iran’s political structure and succession plans for the next Supreme Leader, as 63-year-old President Raisi was the main candidate slated to succeed 85-year-old Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
