The vibrant Iranian democracy goes on and the incident with the death of the Iranian president will most likely change almost nothing in terms of Irans foreign policy.

There are still many unanswered questions about the presidents death e.g. why the other helicopters in the entourage continued without helping the president and of course if It was an accident at all. It could have been an unfortunate accident where the bad weather took the presidents entourage by surprise. However I think that in the war like situation that cetain countries find themselves in, travel by the head of state should be kept to a minimum and that an upgrade of their safety protocols to not allowing for helicopter rides trough mountain terrain without full backup or not at all, should be made. However we must wait for more information before any direct conclusions can be made. New acting president below
