Live News of Iran Helicopter Crash: President Raisi, FM on Missing Planes | News

Analyst Ali Akbar Dareini says President Raisi had confidence in Iranian politics, as did Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

“He is a very loyal politician to the current system. “Iran’s supreme leader trusts him a lot,” Dareini, a fellow at the Center for Strategic Studies in Tehran, told Al Jazeera.

“For the first time in decades, the government in power has no serious differences with other branches of power in Iran, and this has allowed Iran to make very strong decisions on the international stage.”

However, Dareini added that he does not expect a major crisis in the country. “Iran has a strong political system and there will be a smooth transition if, God forbid, something bad happens.”
