伊朗总统任期四年,2021年当选总统的莱希任期将在2025年结束。他被外界普遍认为是接任伊朗下一代最高领袖的有力竞争者。伊朗政治制度的核心是最高领袖,在现任最高领袖哈梅内伊(Ayatollah
Ali
Khamenei)即将年满85岁的当下,莱希遇难牵扯出伊朗最高领袖换代的重大问题。莱希之死是否和伊朗国内的权力交替有关?

May 20 (Reuters) - The helicopter that crashed in Iran on Sunday, killing the country's president and foreign minister in mountain fog, was a Bell 212 model, Iranian state media reported.
The exact origin of the helicopter involved in the crash was not confirmed but an Iranian source said it was connected to the Islamic Republic Red Crescent Society. Experts said the few details available suggested it may be 40 to 50 years old.
