Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi Killed in Helicopter Crash

Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi was killed yesterday in a helicopter crash. The chopper had run unto problems during severe weather conditions. Parts of the copter were discovered after a search. That was when it was discovered that President Raisi, as well as Iran's Foreign Minister, had been killed, as well as some others.

Now, I will admit to a certain cynicism. my initial reaction was that the United States likely was involved somehow, although that turns out not to have been the case. Maybe even this might lead to a world war, since that general area is such a volatile region, almost like the Balkans were a tinderbox which eventually sparked World War I.

Anyway, a new acting president has taken power, the former Vice-President Mohammad Mokhber.
