Ebrahim Raisi, the President of Iran, has passed away at the age of 63. His death comes as a shock to many, as he was a prominent figure in Iranian politics and was seen as a potential successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Raisi was known for his hardline stance on issues such as human rights and nuclear negotiations with the West. He was elected as President in June 2021, amid widespread protests and allegations of election fraud. Despite these controversies, Raisi was able to maintain power and assert his authority in the country.
During his time in office, Raisi faced numerous challenges, including a struggling economy, ongoing tensions with the United States, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these challenges, Raisi remained steadfast in his beliefs and continued to push for his conservative agenda.
