Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian were killed on Sunday in a helicopter crash along with six other officials and crew. Wreckage of the helicopter was found early Monday in a mountainous region of the country's northwest following an overnight search in blizzard conditions. Raisi was returning from inaugurating a new dam built jointly with Azerbaijan along the two countries' border. Raisi, 63, was elected in 2021 in a vote that saw the lowest-percentage turnout in the Islamic Republic's history after major opposition candidates were disqualified from taking part. Analyst Trita Parsi says the president's death will have little impact on the Islamic Republic's policies, including barring dissident candidates from running for office. "Now the regime is going to have to try to whip up and mobilize voters and excitement for an election within 50 days," he says. "And it has to make a decision: Is it actually going to allow other candidates to stand, or is it going to continue on the path that it has set out for itself in which these elections increasingly become rather meaningless in terms of actual democratic value?"

Something is fishy about this entire situation. I'll never believe it was just an accident.
Agreed 👍
Trita, that's not true, Raisi has been instrumental in negotiations and policies with Brics.
He gets his information from Instagram, what does he know?🤨
1) Joined BRIKS
2) Peace deal with Saudi Arabia forever enemy - stoped Saudi war on Yemen
3) Sold drones to Russian openly influencing the course of war and breaking the illusion of the power of American ability to dictate countries foreign policies
4) Huge role in de-dolarisation of iinternation trade
5) Huge deals with China
This guy sounds like a walking propaganda
Lives in the belly of the beast. His views are stilted.
Because he doesn't say what you like. You are a lover of Sharia law under which a woman is considered half a man and a Kaafir or none Muslim is simply alowed to live under the Muslims with no equal rights.
He is, indeed
He is a lobbyist for the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Let's see some balanced Iran coverage. Not US propaganda.
This is worse. This is Islamic regime's propaganda. Trita parsi is a well-known regime's lobbyist, and oppologists.
You're in the right place. Also Al Jazera and Syrian state media are great unbiased perspectives on world issues
syrian state media has the inverse bias as american state media. it's certainly a fresh perspective, but you can't claim it's unbiased.
@@valhalla4752false, Al Jazeera is not as unbiased as you think. They peddle us lies too
Der Stuermer?
Praying for stability in the region. 🙏
he referred to the Woman Life and Freedom protectors as "flies"; which ironically he resembled on his way out.
Because that is the truth in the field unfortunately
@@fatyghassem7123 @fatyghassem7123 Not really, most women are more badass than men following their external organ
Well, wanting to subjgate your own people and hand them over to the west certainly isn't a good thing. lran's domestic policies are backwrds imo, but that doesn't warrant encouraging coIoniaIists to controI your country.
But he hated Israel so doesn't it even out? I mean who cares about women in the Muslim world anyway.
what a liar i have never heard raesi to call protestors flies even that zi0nist backed movement women life fiction ! i think u are mistaken raesi with ahmadinejad lol iranians hate such zi0backed movements i assure u as an iranian who lives in iran >>>an iraanian here for u so u better hvsh up go and see how millions pour into the streets to pay respect to Raesi and companions dies in the crash.
Whoa, knowing what we now know about Boeing with regard to safety standards, if those guys won’t service your aircraft it’s time to find a competent hot air balloon pilot.
Please interview some one which does not have an office in Washington and does not work for us administration., to be able to understand Iran you need to talk to people in Iran. Washington spend big money to build propaganda.,
Was sent on an in-country mission to Afghanistan, dressed as an Afghan with all Afghan, _no protection,_ and when I saw GWoT in the mirrör, with its 20 years of wär crimes written on the bullet-pocked walls of every building, all the officials flashing big rolls of $100s and Kärzäi as _former Tälíban ambassadör,_ lost the ability to serve again. One and done! *Free Julianne! Get 🇺🇸 Öut of Ùkräine!*
That is true .
This was my thoughts too. Not very sensible to have him speak for Irna.
Or at least someone who has visited Iran even once in his entire life.
Aljazeera interviewed him with professor Muhammed Marandi who lives in Iran. He put this man to shame.
Watch coup 53 before opening mouth about iran
1953
Helicopters crash in foggy weather , whether they're new or old .
And ESPECIALLY when they‘re old and known to have issues.
It was not weather there are suspicions of assassination, by inside the Islamic republic regime.
Name a regime who invaded other countries the most in recent history!
Bring Ali Alizaadeh, I don’t believe Trita is a fair unbiased person. He lied about Raesi not doing much for Iran . He did a lot
Alizada is a leftist propagandist for the Mullahs.
what exactly he did except make everything more disaster?!
Name a regime who have the most military bases outside its own borders in other countries!
For anyone who wants to talk about iran must watch coup 53. So they are rightly very deligent in picking presidents
Iranians are very respectful people, jews respect Iranians, and muslems, thousands of years of co existence, very painfull that zionist israel isn't befriended with them, with gods help democracy for iran is what to look forward for,
People of Iran, inside and outside of the country or happy and rejoicing don’t talk for other people
True that
We love the Iranian people and hate the government.
You're probably the opposite
😭🇮🇷😭 دولت رئیسی محبوب ملت ایران
' Zionist Behind Istamophobia Propaganda Campaign .' CK That out on YT
It appears that everytime BiBi called Iran a terrorist state, he was looking in the mirror 😮
Bibi is the most evil human on earth.
Rest in Peace 😢🇮🇷❤️ i dont trust Trita ..he is an agent
Raisi was a monster, and most Iranians I know celebrated that pos‘ death.
Indeed he was an inside man for the Obama Regime the man is as fake as his smile
Very low level operator
Iranians celebrating his death!
Sorry but who are you to mourn his death? Either you're an Iranian in which case you are a traitor to the tens of thousands of people that Raisi executed in the 80s and the hundreds last year. Or you're not Iranian, in which case please stay quiet you do not understand what you are talking about.
The responsibility lies on the officials who choose to use damaged aircraft. It's irresponsible to transport your president in broken helicopters.
next time use made in Iran helicopters huh?
I think it truly was an accident and no foul play was involved just looking at the scene I wouldn't want to be in a helicopter there
This is not to say that the Iranians come out of this show of power smelling like a rose 🌹 as my mother used to say 🌬️
John Mearsheimer 🇺🇸
I'm sorry to see you asked Tritas for commenting on this issue and misleading your viewer.
Wasn't it better to have somebody from inside iran? And also show iranian people crying for the death of their president all over the cities?!
I agree. Many outlets are intentionally trying to portray the lranians as jovial about his passing. In reality, most seem to be sad, but there are those who are happy too. I don't think Dem Now is trying to misrepresent the situation, but this man is probably not the best to have here.
Democracy Now is biased when it comes to Iran Syria and Russia they were never objective on the Axis of Resistance
Professor Muhammed Marandi. Aljazeera interviewed them together. Exposed Trita's lies.
Crying? That's so funny clearly you have no information on Iranian people.
Except for the small number of people who were paid or coerced to mourn his death, most Iranians were very happy to be rid of "Butcher of Tehran".
It is very nice that trolls and fake accounts are commenting on this issue! I was in Tehran participating in the late president's funeral. Hundreds of thousands of people were participating and crying for his death, rest in peace insha Allah. That's what I see with my eyes.
"He is related by marriage to the supreme leader" - Trita Parsi
He and the leader are relative by marriage means two people getting married made them become relatives. Never heard of that?
Perhaps you could mention
his status as the Butcher of Iran.
Helicopters are very dangerous, so many times even in the united States, flying in a helicopter is suicide, (planes can glide down if any problem, so might be a bit safer)
womp womp
Whose deaths will be as written in FATE.
Helicopters can autorotate, which in theory is the same thing as gliding to land.
Rubbish
Trita sound so much like Israel representative
I lost all confidence about this guy who has sits 1000s of miles away and judge Iranian, he was blind to see the support in the streets of major cities in Iran and the love of Iranian who live in Iran.
Trita you must know your westernized mind and life style will never have smallest comprehension of who Iranian are. All I can say you are no body to judge people of Iran
When they got in that helicopter, the last thing in their mind would be that would be their last day. Maybe a altimeter ' failed '. That is a tragedy for the families. May they rest in peace.
So, there is a supreme leader and then the President? In the U.S the supreme leader is not known or talked about much. Most call it the, "Shadow Government"
Hopefully this will change things in Iran but I don't think so.
Iranian people are with Islamic Republic some of them are conservative and some are not that doesn't mean they are against Islamic Republic 🇮🇷
We Iranians are fully support our anti imperialism government, cry harder

Blaming the US for sanctions is laughable...they can go all out to build sophisticated ballistic rocket programs but can't manufacture spare parts for their aging air fleet. Talk about misplaced priorities.
It’s more laughable that you think they can install a rocket component on an airplane or helicopter.
Or let’s go even further a Russian part to an American plane.

Amy's question is hilarious & revealing of the Western mindset as it relates to the rest of the non Western world. Why would the death of a President affect the situation of someone charged in some police station somewhere in the country? You'd think a President who governs a country with a population of 90 million people would have more important things to do 😂
Faksimil, tog Iran to Brix and the Shanghai. He was pragmatic.
Disappointed very much having an interview with the guy who was always interested in gaining imperialism and their allies.
Is anyone else even suspecting the Mossad / C1A 's play in this?
I mean the timing of this accident appears to be simply impeccable isnt it?
$ disappeared from Ukraine???
This situation is soooo ghetto smh

"Must be a part issue from sanctions"
what a DUMB theory
Seems you know as much about aviation as you know about smart theories
@@Bavafa1Connecting direct sanctions that were only years into affect to a helicopter accident that used decades old technology is dumb
@@jfinity_362 they have to tie in the us somehow that’s the point of the channel, they’d blame the us for the dinosaur extinction if they had a theory
@@Bavafa1 they can make a shit ton of missiles but can’t produce a functional helicopter or have enough brains to not fucking fly in poor conditions. Sounds like his own people got him killed.
@@jfinity_362 What is dumb is to make comment on things that you hardly know any facts of it.
Two other Helis that were part of the same convoy reported seeing smoke coming from the helicopter while it was nosing down. It was sabotaged before crashing. I don’t know why no one talks about this.
And the shape of the burned area of the crash site clearly shows that the craft was already on fire before it hit the ground.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Sounds fishy, was he killed in the plane crash? Or did he die in the plane crash, words are everything there is a difference .
For sure Biden is crying
If it was no electromagnetic waves
Shall we all cry over our belief that he goes to heaven and leaves here? Deduce.
i am going to summeize who this guy was, a butcher with six years of ducation like the rest of th regime
They enemy has waponizrd the weather, the weather was clear when he boarded and left , when came back the weather deteriorated, extrema fogg and rain 🌧️? Now days they can produce fog and rain on demand.
I fear that I know the answers, but a missile attack on Qom: what would be the response by (1) the regime and (2) the population?
ok
Isn't that strange that 3 helicopters, 2 Russian made, and an American made, however, the former came successful and the latter not!!! Doesn't any human being think that there's a faul play at work here. on top of that the Azerbaijan's government allows Isreal to have security bases near the Iranian border with Radar, ELM2288 AD Star (assembled in Israel). And knowing that it's been used methods to jam successfully this types of helicopters, then logically and automatically you think about a subotage a la card by CIA, MI6, MOSSADS + Azerbaijan. However, only time will tell the truth!
Iran is a stable country and they are catching up with development in any area of live science.
They'll be independent soon and so that they can increasingly develops their own.
Iran is suffering from sunctions in the ladt 45 years, so that's not something new and the western countries, use this as a bargaining chips in any of their negotiations.
Iran is an established country with its own law and order, based on law the candidates will be having a competition for the presidential election.
🤔🤔🤔
Raisi was a great leader and didn't follow the western powers, this is why as Iranian we respect him.❤
But unfortunately we also have some Israel puppets that talking in Persian language.

Very disappointing coverage of this seismic event in world geopolitics. Is Democracy Now on the AIPAC payroll too?
RIP😢
The question should be, knowing that the US is Iran's enemy, why the Iranian officials able to go in a US-built helicopter?
The helicopter was a plant
...ruzzhian Mi helicopter...do some research...

Why does the media always report negatively? What about Raisi's positive contributions to Iran?
We pray to the almighty God for his paradise and he had the whole world attractive leader and demised as it
Stop talking nonsense about any country and their leaders , which is considered by Washington as “ enemies “ . Just talk about Gaza . I guess it’s easier to understand.
Somebody get them some new helicopters.
I am the first one in watching this broadcast

Dorothy says,Welcome 👆🤌✌️✊♥️☮️✝️👍
excellent Interview. I don't see no change happening in Iran . Will be business as usual .
And this is a good thing. I know their domestic policies are pretty awfuI. But they're one of the few lsIamic countries to actually help the coIonized people of the world and never side with the west. They offered much help to South Africans who were suffring during aprthied and they continue to help those less fortunate than them. They just have their own world-view which some, including myself, would view as opprssive and unecessary. But they're honorable and just, despite what western media says.
God bless him. Good presedent
Amen. 🙏🏻
The arrest warrant for Netanyahu is even better news than this is.

Oops ee daisy..
Why is there such strict definitions applied. To be Israeli practicing Judaism does not automatically equate with being a zionist supporting the genocide of innocents. Just as to be an American does not and should not be painted with the assumptions. We should, as a people, object to the killing of innocents while also objecting to any support for terrorists. Why must objecting to zionism be anti-Semitic? Being an American does not mean being a zionist. Nor does being white mean being zionist. Ideology is not defined by the color of ones skin, religion or geographic residency on a map. Just as the current political leadership of many Western countries today does not reflect the voice of THE PEOPLE, their beliefs, traditions, or anything else relevant to even the majority of the population. Pity to have so many mad scientists at the helm busily constructing a labyrinth to divide the lab rats just long enough to achieve their agenda goals.
Foul play has been ruled out!!!
A Joke!

Because Democracy Now itself is the stooge of the British government and collectively they are there to protect stooge regimes.
Trita Parsi does not represent a good picture about Iran. Election in Iran is not democratic, the supreme leader select president regardless of what Iranian want. In the most recent house election in Iran only 7% of people participated. The Iranian do not want this regime.
