‘Mixed reaction’ to Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's death, analyst says

The death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash on Sunday has been met with both grief and celebration. Raisi, who came to power in 2021, was an unpopular leader who oversaw a crackdown on anti-regime protests that created a ‘deep divide between the state and the society,' says Ali Vaez, the director of the Iran Project at the International Crisis Group.
