ArmInfo. The death of the Iranian President will not lead to serious internal political upheavals in Iran. Energy security expert Vahe Davtyan wrote on his Facebook page.
" Do not forget that Iran is a deep-laid state. Even the assassination of Qasem Soleimani , who was an unshakable authority, could not shake Iran from within and did not lead to serious changes in the elite. Another thing is the external architecture. The hypothesis about the Israeli trace became central from the very first minutes of the publication of the information about the crash. And if it receives the necessary ideological and informational support in Tehran, then, in fact, there is already a casus belli to start military operations," the expert noted.
He also noted that the key question is who benefits from direct military confrontation between Iran and Israel at this stage.
"There aren't many options. Let me remind you that the other day Erdogan announced that a coup attempt was prevented in Turkiye, which, let's admit, creates the impression of an information operation on the eve of larger processes. Of course, creating a victim image is a working technology," Davtyan concluded.
On the afternoon of May 19, information spread that the Iranian President's helicopter had crashed. The Iranian president was returning from the northwestern Iranian province of East Azerbaijan after the opening of a dam on the common border with Azerbaijan, in the occupied territories of Artsakh.
The plane was found 30 kilometers from the village of Taval. According to preliminary data, the helicopter lost control due to an electronic failure and thick fog, fell onto a mountain and caught fire. All the passengers of the Iranian presidential helicopter were killed. President of Iran Ebrahim Raisi, Minister of Foreign Affairs Hossein Amirabdollahian, Governor of East Azerbaijan Malek Rahmati , Imam of Tabriz Ayatollah Ale-Hashem (Seyyed Mohammad Ali Ale- Hashem )were in the crashed helicopter.
