    Aircraft crashing in fog with high level government officials actually happens a lot happened to Polish president and a plane full of US ambassadors, the military pilots who fly these things have a crazy high risk tolerance and are trained to complete their mission at all costs and are trained to fly in conditions no passenger plane should.

      Meh, it doesn't matter. The next Supreme leader would certainly be bent on destroying Israel and world domination, just as the two previous ones were. He would most certainly continue oppressing the secular people in Iran. What does it matter if it's a hereditary succession or a theocratic succession? Both would be similarly oppressive, extreme, and genocidal.

  • @arzhanghadian

    One big mistake: There is no democratic part in Iranian regime. All apparently elected positions are controlled by the guardian council whose members are handpicked by the supreme leader. This way, the supreme leader engineers elections so only his people can run. There is something called approval of qualification in Iran for running for presidency ( or member of parliament or assembly of experts). The body which approves or disapproves one’s qualification is… you guessed it: the guardian council, which is unelected and handpicked by the supreme leader himself.

    The helicopter that the President was flying in was US-made and over 40 years old. The service life of a helicopter is ~20 years. I'm sure the Russians or Chinese (nominal allies of Iran) would have been happy to sell them a newer and more reliable helicopter.
    As noted in this report, Iran has accused the US of continuing sanctions (which is true) denying them spare parts as an explanation for the crash, but stopped short of anything clearer.
    In this report, I wonder why the the advanced age of the helicopter wasn't mentioned?

    Uzbekistan went from an isolationist nation to a semi-globalised one after their President died in 2016.
    Saudi is currently going through something similar with MBS making the nation unrecognisable from a decade ago.
    Iran's Ayatollah structure seemingly ensures that a similar thing could never happen though.
    With Ayatollah Khamenei turning 85 recently, it would be a surprise if there's even a small shift in foreign and domestic policy from his successor. The Assembly of Experts who elect the Ayatollah have allegedly already selected the next Ayatollah anyway.

    The Supreme Leader wasn't really meant to be a political post in the first place, at least when Khomeini was alive.
    Let me explain this to you, the Supreme Leader was based on the idea of the "guardianship of the jurist." Khomeini's main role was to enforce the country's Islamic law and he acted as some sort of constitutional monarch, interfering ONLY in political crisis such as when the ultraconservative Majlis (parliament) impeached the leftist president Banisadr.
    But in reality, day-to-day running of the government really resided with Khamenei (then-president, managed the war effort against Iraq) and Mousavi (PM, kept the economy afloat, post was replaced with VP afterwards). But yeah, Khomeini was a good posterboy for the regime, telling the people especially children to fight the Iraqis in human waves and even if they die, they'll have their place in Jannah.
    But things got tricky after Khomeini's death, the post started to become a politicized one by removing the religious requirement (ex. imagine a non-cardinal becomes Pope, though it happened in the past) but Khamenei was ceremonial at first because it's President Rafsanjani who put him in position in the first place.
    Rafsanjani amassed influence during his time as Majlis speaker enough for Khamenei to be ceremonial in his early years but without noticing, Khamenei was also building up his power base particularly in the military and IRGC.
    A setback came when Khamenei quashed Rafsanjani's attempt to amend the constitution so he can run for a 3rd term. Out of anger, Rafsanjani allowed more reformists to compete in the election thus the Khatami presidency was born.
    Ever since then post-1997 or I should say post-Rafsanjani, Iranian presidents had been always subordinate to the Supreme Leader, either you kiss his hand like Ahmadinejad and Raisi or get annoyed everytime your reform gets blocked like Khatami and Rouhani.

      The guardianship of the jurist was imagined to be something semi-political like what Iraq unofficially has with Ayatollah Seestani.
      But the combination of the way Shah being forced out Imam Khomeneis Charisma the wave of political assassination's and the Iran Iraq war made the position more powerful than intended because some many political leaders died Khomeni had to interfere more than expected.
      Rafsanjani tried to move the guardian jurist back to a ceremonial role after Khomeneis death and make the president the main point of power. He pushed Khamenei into the position which deftly simultaneously got rid of his main political rival be relegating him to the ceremonial role, took out Ahmed Khomeini for consideration and denied the position to all the other senior clerics. Khamenei realized what was happening too late and tried to argue his way out saying "How can I be the leader when some of you (senior cleric) don't recognize me as (Ayatollah) what kind of leader would that be? But Rafsanjani shut the debate held the vote and Khamenei was stuck because he couldn't reject the degree of senior clergy.
      Rafsanjani plan succeeded and failed at the same He was able to accumulate much wealth and rebuild the country and temporarily reduce the power of his rivals. However Shia theology has so much respect for the leader which gave him more influence than expected. Khamenei used that to build his own militia the IRGC which answer to him directly. This gave what Rafsanjani thought would be a purely ceremonial position enforcement power. He used the basij like general Qasim to build the militias in Syria Lebanon and Yemen. The other part was Khamenis youth as the other Ulama passed away and he rode out attempts to oust him it left Khamenei with political executive and religious authority as well extreme direct influence in the region and the only cleric of that standing left alive. Khamenei tried to groom Raisi to be his successor even sending his son to campaign for him but now that plan is gone.

    For the first time I disagree with a point made here, that being Israel wouldn't see it as reckless and ineffective to assassinate President Raisi. Netanyahu has been advocating for a war with Iran for as long as he's been in office. Drawing Iran into a violent engagement would only benefit Israel, as it would force the U.S. to become further involved in their wars. No idea whether Israel is behind Raisi's death, but they would indeed have much to gain from a war with Iran.

      @gedalyahreback2133 28 днів тому +18

      Living in Israel I'll say that a lot of people here are joking about Mossad having done it, but it's just so unlikely because the fallout from such an attack would be gargantuan if it were ever public that Israel actually did it. And the US isn't always going to get involved in these conflicts-the US has been extremely risk averse for the last 15 years and no one would take it as a guarantee that the US would go all in on a war against Iran.
      The other thing is that Raisi isn't a high value target to the extent that a general is or the supreme leader. Maybe someone could predict a destabilizing fight for power like this video suggests could happen, but that's hardly a guaranteed outcome if you're the hypothetical personal planning to assassinate the president and foreign minister.

Israel doesn’t even have Access to Iran, so how actually could look war between Israel and Iran? Only another proxy war. Iran migth pressure Hezbollah to attack Israel, send reinforcement to Lebanon to start a hell in Lebanon and Sheba farms. Which is very beneficial to Iran, but not to Israel.

    Really good video, Shirvan. Instead of a mundane helicopter crash, you've highlighted the court intrigue story. I did not really care about this story, but thanks for your entertaining spin on the Iranian clown show aspect.

      Pilots call this get-there-itis. Imagine you are the president's pilot and you are ordered to fly him to whatever place over those foggy mountains. You've dodged bad weather hundreds of times, and you aim to please / be useful. It's easier to say "Sure I'll find a way below or around the fog" than "Safety first, we're not flying this helicopter today". 99 times out of 100 it works out, until you draw the short straw one day. Many skilled and experienced pilots have died this way.
