The deaths of the president and other officials in a helicopter crash are not likely to lead to major policy changes.
The deaths of Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian in a helicopter crash on Sunday have now been confirmed by Iranian authorities.
After a desperate overnight search for the aircraft in the rugged terrain it had fallen in, rescuers finally found the accident site and retrieved the bodies of the eight people who had been on board.
Al Jazeera takes a closer look at what the plans are for their funerals, and what comes next for Iran.
The bodies of Raisi, 63, Amirabdollahian, 60, and the other officials and staff were brought to Tabriz, the capital city of Iran’s East Azerbaijan province, and a public procession was held.
Another ceremony will be held on Tuesday morning, when the funeral rites will begin, as the bodies are transferred to Tehran.
