5 days of mourning in Iran for the death of President Ali Khamenei

Iran's leader Ali Khamenei has declared 5 days of national mourning for the death of President Raisi. The funeral of the president will take place this Tuesday in Tabriz.

Raisi died yesterday while he was returning from an official visit to Azerbaijan and the helicopter he was traveling in with other leaders crashed.

The Iranian constitution mandates that the vice president, currently Mohammad Mokhbar, will take over as interim president and that new presidential elections be held within 50 days.
