On Monday, Iranian Vice President Mohsen Mansouri confirmed media reports that incumbent President Ebrahim Raisi and his delegation, including Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, died in a helicopter crash in northwestern Iran. Under the Iranian constitution, an early presidential election must be held within 50 days after the incumbent president is pronounced dead or incapacitated, and his powers are transferred to the first vice president.
"No, I can say that the foreign policy will not change, because according to the constitution of our country, according to Article 110, the foreign policy is carried out entirely under the leadership of the supreme leader," Jalali told the Russian media.
