DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, a hard-line protégé of the country’s supreme leader who helped oversee the mass executions of thousands in 1988 and later led the country as it enriched uranium near weapons-grade levels and launched a major drone-and-missile attack on Israel, has died. He was 63.<br/><br/>Raisi’s sudden death, along with Iran’s foreign minister and other officials in the helicopter crash Sunday in northwestern Iran, came as Iran struggles with internal dissent and its relations with the wider world. A cleric first, Raisi once kissed the Quran, the Islamic holy book, before the United Nations and spoke more like a preacher than a statesman when addressing the world.<br/>

_hardline-iranian-president-ebrahim-raisi-dies-in-tragic-helicopter-crash.webp "Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the supreme leader's protege, has died in a helicopter crash at age 63 along with other officials, including the foreign minister. Raisi was a hardline cleric who helped oversee the mass executions of thousands in 1988 and later served as head of the judiciary before becoming president in 2021 in a carefully managed election. The helicopter crashed in foggy, mountainous regions of northwest Iran, and search teams spent hours locating the crash site. Raisi was seen as a protege of Supreme Leader Khamenei and helped clear opposition candidates from the 2021 election. His election occurred during heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington, triggered by President Donald Trump's 2018 decision to withdraw the U.S. from a nuclear agreement with Iran.")
