After the helicopter crash of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian on Sunday, daily life in the Iranian capital Tehran continues “almost normally”, reports employee A., who only provides information anonymously for fear of repression. The regime has declared five days of national mourning. “The silent majority is happy with the accident. I have been invited to two parties where this is toasted.”
Naturally, the news was followed closely, but neither the joy over Raisi’s death can be shown publicly, nor will it affect the lives of Iranians, A explained. He himself will not celebrate the presidential elections or participate in the presidential elections. according to the constitution Must be carried out 50 days after the death of a government leader. “I last voted for Hassan Rouhani in 2017. I will only vote again if the regime as such can be voted out.”
A believes that the grieving minority will go to the polls. He thinks people who show their joy about the accident, especially on social media, are very courageous.
Iranian speaks of Raisi as a ‘puppet’
There is also speculation in Iran about Israel’s involvement in the crash or even about a conspiracy within the Iranian elite. But just as well, many people would believe that it was actually an accident, says A. Raisi, a president according to the wishes of spiritual leader Ali Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guard. Eliminating the ‘doll’ Raisi therefore makes no sense. It is “no problem” for the Iranian regime to overcome the crisis that has arisen.
Hope for a new nuclear deal
Because Tehran does not hold Israel responsible for the accident, the exchange rate and oil prices have calmed down after just one day, A reports. In his view, only a new nuclear deal would change things for the better for the Iranian people. under sanctions and suffering from high inflation. A. seems hopeless. “It’s not until I’m old that things can get better,” said the mid-30s.
As he walks through Tehran, he sees regime posters depicting the dead as martyrs, as well as small gatherings of regime loyalists around mosques. “We expect larger ceremonies in the coming days, especially around Friday prayers,” says A., describing the scene in the capital.
