Many questions arose from the departure of Ibrahim Raisi


Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdulahian, among others, died in the helicopter crash. Before the official announcement, from the website of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to the black clothes of anchors and newsreaders of Iranian televisions had given the biggest sign of mourning for the country. The main thing is that the kind of movement that was visible in Iran even before this cannot be called auspicious for Iran and Central Asia itself. The immediate reason for apprehension is the ongoing clashes between Israel and Hamas. Because of these clashes, it is also being said that the helicopter crash of the Iranian President is actually a conspiracy. Israel's reaction in this regard, long before Iran said anything about its President's position, cannot be called mere carelessness. Israel was the first in the world to comment on this and said that there is no possibility of anyone surviving the accident. On the other hand, a senator of the US Congress even said that a big 'terrorist' had died in this accident. He might have been referring to the decisions taken by the Iranian President as the judicial head.

The implications of the statements of Israel and the US senator will be drawn. US President Joe Biden definitely postponed any statement from the Senate House before Iran's official announcement. This can only be the diplomatic wisdom of America standing with Israel in the Israel-Hamas conflict. There has already been discussion in the world about the relations of Iranian IRGC with Hamas fighters. That is why it did not take long for this war to become the Israel-Iran conflict. After the Iranian attack amid the clashes in April, Israel had warned Iran of paying the price. This is why the son of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah has now indirectly threatened Israel after this incident. He said that if this is a conspiracy, then Hezbollah will change the map of the world. Hezbollah is a Shia Islamic organization and Iran is also a Shia state.

Naturally, Iran still needs a few days to recover from this disaster. At present, in place of Ibrahim Raisi, Vice President Mohammad Mokhbar Dejfuli has been given the responsibility of the President of Iran. Under the Iranian system, a new president will be elected within 50 days. Like Ibrahim Raisi, Mohammad Mokhbar Dejfuli is also very close to Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei. It is expected that Mohammad Mokhbar can be the next President. President Ibrahim Raisi was considered the successor to supreme leader Ali Khamenei. Khomoni, who has crossed 80 years of age, can now be replaced by Mohammad Mokhbar. In Iran, the army and religious leaders run the country together with the politicians. Under this system, the President is also the judicial head. In this way, it will be possible to elect the same type of President after a fanatic in an emotionally charged atmosphere in Iran. However, this will not be the only problem. The turmoil inside Iran will also affect its economy. At present Iran is in economic crisis. He will have to be careful and keep an eye on his oil business also. Iran's oil has been exported the most to China. China and Russia are with Iran in this scenario. Still, it is a challenge for Iran to maintain its position in the world, especially Central Asia, while taking care of its people. This challenge has increased further with the departure of President Raisi.
