President Raisi, assumed office in August 2021 after being elected in June of the same year, has been a controversial figure both domestically and internationally.
His administration has been under intense scrutiny, with high expectations from the Iranian populace to improve economic conditions and lift US-imposed sanctions.
Raisi’s presidency marked a shift in Iran’s political landscape, with a strong emphasis on resistance against Western pressure and a focus on strengthening regional alliances. His recent visit to the Azerbaijani border and the dam inauguration was seen as a significant step in reinforcing Iran’s bilateral relations with its neighbor.
The fate of the Iranian President remains uncertain. And the helicopter crash casts a shadow over the tense political landscape in Iran.
