Ebrahim Raisi’s death: Political shifts in Iran and beyond

Hindustan Times  

The sudden death of Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi, a prominent political figure in Iran, has significant ramifications for the nation, the broader West Asia region, and global politics. Raisi's presidency, marked by a hardline stance on domestic and foreign policies, leaves a complex legacy and creates a power vacuum that could lead to considerable shifts in the geopolitical landscape. The power vacuum left by Raisi's demise could embolden rival regional powers such as Saudi Arabia and Israel to recalibrate their strategies towards Iran. The death of Raisi also affects Iran's relations with major global powers such as Russia and China.
