Former Presidential Chairman and Minister of Foreign Affairs Emir Abdullahiyan lost their lives in a sudden helicopter crash. Numerous theories and opinions about this event took their place on the agenda.
Iran-Azerbaijan relations, which were tense after the Second Karabakh War, reached a positive ground in the first quarter of 2024. Tension was reduced as a result of mutual visits. It was important that Reisi and Abdullahiyan attended the opening of the Hudaferin Dam and Maiden Castle on the Azerbaijani border just before the accident.
They also met with Azerbaijani President Aliyev during this visit. During the meeting, their statements along the lines of "someone is uncomfortable with these rapprochements, we know who they are" were remarkable.
In addition, it is known that relations with Israel, one of Iran's biggest historical others, are at their lowest level in the new period after October 7. The attack on the Iranian Embassy in Damascus in April and the assassinations of senior Iranian officials in 2023-2024 began the process of direct attacks against Israel during the Reisi period. Two weeks after the attack in Damascus, more than 300 drones and missiles fired from Iran and various parts of the Middle East headed towards Israeli territory.
Who could be the disturbed people that Reisi mentioned just before he died? How did the chief come to office? Could he fulfill his promises to society? Was he going to be the new Religious Leader? Would relations with the United States remain tense? How were Iran's relations with other world states? Could Iran get out of sanctions? What will happen now? How is the Iranian state mechanism shaped?
