Iran's hardline president Ebrahim Raisi was among the dead after a helicopter crash in the country's foggy, mountainous East Azerbaijan Province.
The unexpected demise of Iran's president might ignite a "bitter" civil war in the "unstable" Islamic Republic, an expert has warned.
There are speculations that his death will create a power vacuum that may instigate internal conflict for the premier position. If these predictions hold true, a civil war could erupt within the already "highly dangerous and unstable nation". He may also provide reassurance to the "brave Iranian men and women who are totally revolted by the bloody rule of the Ayatollahs", the professor stated.
