The helicopter crash deaths of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and seven others caught the world by surprise Monday morning, bringing abrupt changes to Iran’s domestic and diplomatic leadership at a time when the Middle East is a boiling kettle of toil and trouble.
Under Raisi and Amirabdollahian, Iran’s diplomacy took a more bellicose turn with negotiators openly using then-President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and the U.S.'s war in Afghanistan to sow the narrative that the United States cannot be a trusted partner. Shortly after Raisi’s election, Iran ramped up its violations with its Parliament passing laws requiring the violation of the deal’s limits.
