also the last week of the show before summer break definitely have some things planned for us over the summer though some more on that to come all right let's get you your news in Iran the country's Army Chief is ordering an investigation into a deadly helicopter crash that has shaken the nation Iran's president Ibrahim RI and several other officials were killed after their helicopter crashed in a remote mountain region in north western part of the country there was Heavy fog in the area at the time of the crash risei was a political hardliner he was voted into power in 2021 easily beating his competition the former president Hassan Rohan who was more of a moderate RI earned 18 million of the nearly 29 million votes that were cast Iran is considered an Islamic Republic or a theocracy meaning that a religious figure runs the country in Iran's case that religious leader is supreme leader Ayatollah Ali kamini an Islamic fundamentalist RI as president was second in command his death comes at a tense moment for the entire Middle East it was only weeks ago that Iran launched a fullscale drone and missile attack on Israel that was retaliation they said for an Israeli strike on a diplomatic complex in Syria that killed several Iranian officials CNN's Ivan Watson shows us how the people of Iran are reacting and what's next for the country Iran in a state of mourning commemorating the shocking death of Iranian president Ibrahim rayi he was killed along with the foreign minister and seven other officials and crew members when their helicopter crashed in remote Mountain M Sunday in the northwest of the country during the Frantic hours when Rescuers searched for the missing president the most powerful figure in the Iranian political system supreme leader

held within 50 days this is a system that has managed this kind of turmoil uh in the past so in the short run it can certainly manage troppy Waters but in the longer run it's a system that is ideologically bankrupt messages of condolence are pouring in from longtime allies like Syria as well as Russia which launches Iranian Shahed drones against cities in Ukraine also publicly mourning risi's loss Iranian backed militant groups such as Yemen's houis Hamas and lebanon's Hezbollah meanwhile few tears likely to be shed by Iran's sworn enemy Israel the two countries long simmering Shadow War exploded into direct tit fortat long range strikes just last month I don't think you will shift anything in the region or in terms of Iran's relationship with its neighbors or or or neighboring Powers that's because most of the power in Iran lies with supreme leader Ali who is still in power and he's the one who is calling all the shots how the Islamic Republic deals with this
