No drastic change in Iran expected following President's death

View descriptionShare

Clinton is joined by Dr Nathan Franklin, Charles Darwin University’s political expert, following the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.

Dr Franklin says, "Celebrations will be short lived for the enemies of the late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. This is because those wanting drastic change will be disappointed."

"The regime will immediately do what they do best, which is regime survival. The supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is the number one man in the country, because Iran is a theocratic (religious) state, will ensure that politics and society remain in line with Shia Islamic values."

"Reports in the Western media about a power struggle are over exaggerated, at least if people think that Iran is going to change any time soon. The best we can hope for is someone less restrictive and anti-West, like Hassan Rouhani, who was president from 2013 to 2021."
