Who Killed Raisi?

 

I have no inside information here, but I asked an Iranian friend who is deeply involved in the democratic resistance here in Canada for his view of the death of Iran’s president and foreign minister. He says they generally think it is an assassination, and an inside job. Part of a power struggle at the top. It may be because Raisi was too obvious a candidate to succeed Khamenei as Supreme Leader. Not pro-democracy forces, not the Israelis, and not the weather.

Will the death of Raisi bring good news for the Iranian people and the pro-democracy forces? Unlikely, he thinks.
