Hard Landing The death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in the helicopter crash makes the replacement of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, 85, problematic. Raisi, also a cleric, was primping himself for the job. Your No Agenda Show has pushed the theory that the top mullahs are cleaning house and Raisi was another casualty. So now it turns out, according to Iran watchers, that Khamenei wants his son to succeed him. If true, this is rich. The entire Iranian revolution had, at its core, a dislike of monarchical systems and here the Supreme Leader wants to pass along the job to an heir. Too funny. But who is there to stop him? |
