Both Iranian President Raisi and Iranian Foreign Minister Abdollahian together with seven other people aboard the helicopter died in the crash Dargo mentioned in the previous posting.
Both had a lot of influence in Iran, and Raisi was often mentioned as the most likely successor to Ayatollah Khameni, Iran's supreme leader. Even though Raisi and Abdollahian had less power than their western counterparts their deaths result a substantial power vacuum in Iran.
