What to expect next after the sudden death of Iran's president
Briefly

A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and officials crashes in foggy conditions, leaving no survivors.
Raisi's strict enforcement of hijab laws led to the arrest of Mahsa Amini, sparking protests. He was criticized for a history of violent crackdowns on dissent.
Raisi, perceived as a potential successor to the supreme leader, was described as a hard-liner by observers. His death raises political succession concerns.
Tensions in the region are high, with Iran and Israel engaging in missile strikes. Raisi's death adds uncertainty to an already volatile situation.
