First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber will serve as interim president.

Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani will serve as acting foreign minister.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a statement.

I announce five days of public mourning and offer my condolences to the dear people of Iran, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, via statement.

Iran's neighbors and allies offered condolences, with Vladimir Putin calling Raisi "a true friend of Russia.".

Raisi's death comes as dissent in Iran continues to grow amid "political, social and economic crises," Reuters reports.

An election to appoint a new president must occur within 50 days.

Overall, Iranian policy will not likely change due to the fact that the Guardian Council must vet candidates.

The council has previously disqualified "prominent conservative and moderate officials," Reuters reports

Khamenei RIPS INTO Trump on Nuclear Site Damage | ‘Made EXAGGERATED claims to COVER-UP the truth’

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has dismissed Donald Trump’s claims of "total destruction" of Iran’s nuclear facilities as exaggerated and misleading. He accuses Trump of inflating the success of U.S. strikes to conceal strategic failures, asserting that Iran’s nuclear program remains largely intact. Supporting this, IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi says Iran could restart enrichment in months. Khamenei insists America “gained nothing” from the war, while Pentagon leaks also contradict Trump’s narrative of total obliteration. #Khamenei #Trump #IranNuclearProgram #IAEA #Grossi #Fordow #Natanz #Isfahan #TrumpLies #USIranTensions #NuclearStrike #MiddleEastCrisis #NuclearDeal #IranStrikesBack #QatarBase #AyatollahKhamenei #TrumpVsTruth #BidenForeignPolicy #IranIAEA #LeakedPentagon #NuclearFallout #GlobalTensions #TruthVsPropaganda #MideastPolitics #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #IranNews #TrumpClaims #USMilitary #KhameneiSpeech #IranResistance Also Read Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Soon Sign Very Big Deal With India: Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-soon-sign-very-big-deal-with-india-trump-7784501.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.122~

‘Trump MUST Stop...’ | Iranian FM Araghchi WARNS Trump after 'DISRESPECTFUL' Comments for Ayatollah

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has lashed out at Donald Trump after the U.S. President claimed to have "saved" Ayatollah Khamenei from an “ugly and ignominious death.” Araghchi called Trump’s remarks “disrespectful and unacceptable,” warning that if Trump truly seeks a deal, he must stop insulting Iran’s Supreme Leader. He also issued a chilling threat, saying Iran could “unveil real capabilities” if provoked. The exchange follows Trump’s inflammatory Truth Social post and adds new tension to U.S.-Iran relations. #IranVsTrump #TrumpRemarks #Araghchi #AyatollahKhamenei #MiddleEastTensions #IranUSRelations #TruthSocial #IranThreat #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #TrumpIranTensions #DiplomaticCrisis #MideastNews #TrumpBlowback #NuclearStandoff #IranSpeaksOut #BreakingNews #TrumpKhamenei #USForeignPolicy #TehranResponse #GrandAyatollah #TrumpTruthSocial #CeasefireTensions #IranNuclear #MiddleEastCrisis #DealOrDisaster #IranRetaliation #AraghchiWarning #TrumpBacklash #IranianStatement #GlobalDiplomacy Also Read US Will Soon Sign Very Big Deal With India: Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-soon-sign-very-big-deal-with-india-trump-7784501.html?ref=DMDesc Trump’s Iran Strike Claims Under Scrutiny: Intelligence Reports Raise Doubts About ‘Total Obliteration’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-iran-strike-claims-under-scrutiny-intelligence-reports-raise-doubts-about-total-obliterati-7783233.html?ref=DMDesc Swearing at the World Stage: Trump’s Anger Reveals the Limits of U.S. Mediation in the Israel-Iran Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/swearing-at-the-world-stage-trump-s-anger-reveals-the-limits-of-u-s-mediation-in-the-israel-iran-c-7781983.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.346~GR.122~

Iran’s Nuclear Cover-Up EXPOSED! Araghchi BUSTS Khamenei's LIE; Says 'Serious Damage' in US Strikes

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi publicly admitted that U.S. airstrikes caused “serious damage” to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure — directly contradicting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s earlier claims that the attacks had minimal effect. While Khamenei declared the strikes a failure and mocked them as insignificant, Araghchi’s candid statement has blown the lid off what many are now calling a major nuclear #USAttackIran #IranNuclearSites #AmericaVsIran #FordowStrike #IranMissileAttack #IranIsraelConflict #IsraelAttacksIran #IranAttacksIsrael #TrumpIranStrike #IranMissileFootage #IranNuclearCrisis #USIranTensions #IranUnderAttack #NuclearSitesHit #MiddleEastConflict Also Read Stop Disrespectful Tone Towards Khamenei If Trump Wants Deal: Iran Tells US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/stop-disrespectful-tone-towards-khamenei-if-trump-wants-deal-iran-tells-us-011-7785407.html?ref=DMDesc 'You Got Beat To Hell': Donald Trump On Iran's Victory Claim :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/you-got-beat-to-hell-donald-trump-on-irans-victory-claim-7785327.html?ref=DMDesc Iran's Khamenei Warns Against Future US Attacks After Ceasefire Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-khamenei-warns-against-future-us-attacks-011-7784453.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.122~PR.152~ED.346~

Iran Breaking: Israel Admits Trying to Kill Khamenei During War | U.S Trump Behind Plan? [Video]

Iran Breaking: Israel Admits Trying to Kill Khamenei During War | U.S Trump Behind Plan?

In a chilling admission, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was a target for assassination during the recent 12-day conflict. However, the operation was aborted as Khamenei reportedly “went very deep underground” and cut contact with his commanders. Katz said no U.S. approval was needed to strike Iran’s leadership, but the mission was deemed unfeasible. The shocking revelation comes amid rising tensions and adds fuel to Iran’s claim of Western-backed attempts to destabilize its leadership. Tehran has yet to issue an official response. #Khamenei #IsraelIranTensions #Iran #AyatollahKhamenei #Israel #AssassinationPlot #IranConflict #IsraelKatz #MiddleEastNews #BreakingNews #IranLeaderTargeted #IranWar #IranianResistance #KhameneiAssassination #IranianUnderground #IranIsraelWar #TehranResponse #IranianLeadership #IsraelDefense #Mossad Also Read Mystery Shrouds Over Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Whereabouts As Iran Faces Military Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mystery-shrouds-over-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-whereabouts-as-iran-faces-military-crisis-7783667.html?ref=DMDesc Battered Iran Faces Uncertain Future After Conflict with Israel Amidst Economic Turmoil :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/battered-iran-faces-uncertain-future-after-war-with-israel-011-7783467.html?ref=DMDesc Khamenei Names Successor Shortlist From Bunker Amid Israeli Assassination Threats; Son Excluded: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/khamenei-names-successor-shortlist-from-bunker-amid-israeli-assassination-threats-son-excluded-rep-7779435.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~

''They Should Be Prosecuted…'': Trump BIG Allegation Against Democrats For ‘Leaking’ Iran's Plan [Video]

''They Should Be Prosecuted…'': Trump BIG Allegation Against Democrats For ‘Leaking’ Iran's Plan

U.S. President Donald Trump has accused Democrats of leaking classified intel about U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, branding it a “perfect flight” betrayal. He demanded prosecution, despite the FBI finding no direct evidence implicating any political party. The leak revealed that Iran’s nuclear capacity was only delayed by months, contradicting Trump’s claims of a full strike success. While Trump lashes out, the White House urges caution, and intelligence agencies brace for more fallout. Lawmakers are set for briefings, as political tensions rise over national security leaks. #Trump #IranStrike #IranNuclear #IntelligenceLeak #TrumpVsDemocrats #FBIInvestigation #USPolitics #TruthSocial #MiddleEast #Khamenei #USIranTensions #Pentagon #IranDeal #LeakedIntel #TrumpNews #NuclearSiteStrike #Espionage #ForeignPolicy #ClassifiedDocuments #DIA Also Read Mystery Shrouds Over Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Whereabouts As Iran Faces Military Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mystery-shrouds-over-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-whereabouts-as-iran-faces-military-crisis-7783667.html?ref=DMDesc Iranian Citizens Contemplate Future After 12-Day War and US-Brokered Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/12-day-war-ceasefire-iran-future-concerns-011-7783479.html?ref=DMDesc US Strikes Set Back Iran Nuclear Program by Few Months: Early Intelligence Report :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-strikes-set-back-iran-nuclear-program-by-few-months-early-intelligence-report-7782349.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

Trump PLAYING Zelensky and Putin? After Halting Weapons, Trump Tells Zelensky He Wants to Help Him

Trump has stunned observers by privately telling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he wants to help Ukraine, despite recently pushing for the U.S. to freeze critical weapons deliveries. The contradictory moves have fueled speculation that Trump is leveraging military aid to gain influence over both Kyiv and Moscow ahead of the U.S. election. While Trump publicly blames Zelensky for prolonging the war, sources say he has quietly assured the Ukrainian leader of potential support if certain “conditions” are met. #TrumpZelensky #TrumpZelenskyCall #TrumpVsZelensky #ZelenskyTrump #TrumpZelenskyNews #TrumpZelenskyMeeting #TrumpZelenskyFight #TrumpZelenskyTalks #ZelenskyTrumpCall #TrumpZelenskyVance #TrumpZelenskyOval #TrumpUkraineCall #ZelenskyPhoneCall #TrumpUkraineCrisis #TrumpZelenskyToday ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.420~

Kyiv left Smoking and Burning |Record-Breaking overnight Russian Missile Barrage Kills 1, Injures 23

Kyiv was left smoldering after an unprecedented overnight assault by Russian forces involving 11 missiles and a record 550 drones. Despite Ukraine’s air defenses, 72 drones penetrated the city, causing widespread destruction, fires, and chaos. At least 23 people were injured and one woman killed near the border in a related attack. The relentless bombardment lasted over eight hours, shattering hopes for a ceasefire following a tense phone call between Presidents Putin and Trump. Ukrainian leaders condemn the strikes as some of the worst since the war began, while warning that halted U.S. weapon shipments could severely impact Ukraine’s defense capabilities. Firefighters continue to battle massive blazes across the capital as the conflict escalates. #KyivUnderAttack #RussiaUkraineWar #MissileStrike #DroneAttack #WarInUkraine #PutinVsZelensky #UkraineDefense #StopTheWar #TrumpPutinCall #WarUpdates #BreakingNews #ConflictZone ~PR.274~HT.408~

Another MAJOR WIN For Putin As Russian Flag Flies Over Melovoye, Ukraine Troops Pushed Back Again [Video]

Another MAJOR WIN For Putin As Russian Flag Flies Over Melovoye, Ukraine Troops Pushed Back Again

Russian troops have reportedly taken control of Melovoye in Ukraine’s Kharkov region and raised the Russian flag over the liberated settlement. According to military sources, servicemen from the 83rd Motorised Rifle Regiment and 72nd Motorised Rifle Division were involved in the offensive. The operation, part of a larger strategy to push Ukrainian forces away from Russia’s border, aims to establish a “security zone” to safeguard civilians in nearby Russian regions. The Sever Group of Forces, supported by assault units, has gradually advanced through fortified positions, capturing both equipment and Ukrainian personnel. The symbolic act of hoisting the flag signals growing Russian control in strategic settlements near the front. This development underscores the intensifying nature of ground operations along the Kharkov front, as Russia presses to fortify its territorial gains. #RussiaUkraineWar #Melovoye #KharkovRegion #RussianArmy #UkraineFrontline #SecurityZone #RussianFlag #BorderOffensive #UkraineWar2025 #SeverGroup #RussianAdvance #WarTrophies #AFUCaptured #RussianMilitary #KharkivOffensive #GroundOperations #UkraineConflict #FlagRaised #EasternFront #RussiaUkraineUpdate ~HT.318~ED.346~
