A rough landing and weather conditions complicating the operations around Supreme Leader as to com. Weve already, we hope that god with the all my law turns govern your president and colleagues in full have you would add to the rules of the nation. That the helicopter was lost in the east as a by John Providence of a wrong knew the town of as a con, irena in red crescent said the location was dangerous and difficult to cross. Lacy and the need to have as the by john had just integrated hydro electric scheme on the shad border. Some of aliens read. Were deeply saddened by this incident. Honestly, the dominant feeling is fear. Its a strange feeling. The others celebrating the news. This social media purports to share file x over the capital tab on, and the woman say she hopes reports devices denies a true sense of all that he has to be able to email. You see is considered a hard liner. He became president in 2021. Pretty old launch is a power under the control of hotline is loyal to creating data. I a ton of khamenei, where you see backs come, a new strategy is supporting 10 of groups acting on the grounds, behalf across communities, revise these sites still assess and stake tv has been showing people gathering in most news outlets been urging radians to pray. So that president , oh no, no, thats good them over that option z z as in also out of contribution vita for the atlantic with a focus on it on to join to be now from new york. Welcome to the program with us. I want to start by asking you, what do you think is going for the minds of it . Are new leadership right now . I think there are basically thinking, i think they probably know that stay a race is very likely a dead. And at any rate, there are different types of time as to you know, what, how to organize the procedures that will come according to the running state constitution, the Vice President , one of my most fair. I will hold the power for a for a little while and itd be the in 50 days. New elections has to be organized. Im so i think theyre thinking about that. Theyre also thinking about are the potential for putting the called instability perhaps popular towards us. Theyll do, i dont think theyre very likely at the moment and, but theyre also thinking about the implications of this for internal power struggles which are very high temps by the boss. For example, the speaker department is someone who has been attracted lots by the people who are close to re see youre on elect to the new part of an earlier this year. Youd also like the new assembly of s. First is the body that is tested to get a Supreme Leader and board of these bodies acting on needs. Theyre picking the leadership, im, you know, races is sudden, death is for sure, going to have an effect on all of this. So thats what theyre concerned about. So missed an affair, its supposed to take well well, but you also mentioned concerns about of seeming challenges, a power struggle for those. That means the transition to the next we do, but do not be fooled as well. Um, i think in the, for the presidency will probably be likely as moved up and running confusion as a very clear procedure um, most where will assume the functions of the presidency and he to get everybody to be, to waters before the console. And they will have to organize, we will extras. The question will be to really manage the question. If you will, is whos gonna running these elections . Youre on the, on president ial elections have never been free and fair. But they have sometimes been comparative. Mainly they have a comparative from 1997 to 2017. That means different factions that are human are allowed to run different candidates and theyve generally come through this with a voice made use of their audience. What is the dimensions . 2021 was the 1st finding, the generation thats effectively it wasnt competitive. No, there were a few candidates, but majority of whom people didnt look because it was races. Victoria was effectively p or dan tracy was the thing to be handed. The presidency. 2021. The question now is, is it going to be handed to someone or will it be a genuine competition . And if hes, if he teases and competition, you know, which parts of the leads beach factions, beach for the hard line around conservative factions will be allowed thrown. Assuming that, of course like, reform is due for the course of action will be a no not allowed anywhere near power, of course, and nowhere near the presidency. But i believe it will be very interesting to watch because as i said, theres already been a lot of the fighting. And this is for sure its going to be intense the next couple of months. So to be see who inherits the presidency, which will be important because Supreme Leader harmony is also 85. He owns most of the power. He will die in the next few years and who holds the presidency when he is dead . And you know, the kind of Material Holding a power at the time who holds what need be important and in the sort of succession. A struggle that its sure to ensue upon his death. I do want to also to onto the people and because youve written a book on, what is john units one focusing on the central tests, demanding that resume change. You mentioned before. Test the unlikely. What do you think of the audience with the fee this as a possible opportunity for change i think youre on is, are very sort of pragmatics that to your audience. Vast majority of the writing is a bit of do not want to is im a good public and they will use creative ways to protest. Uh, i think right now the reality is, iranians have a vision a feel. He feels he really, really waves of a struggle. The last one moment life freedom which i tried to describe in my book that you just mentioned. We have to remember this movement wasnt 20222023. So not that long ago, more than 500 people were killed on the streets by the resumed houses that arrested a fuser executed to him. I saw that he in a running raptor who participated in this process. The part of them is right on the death row. Because of them. So thats sort of the background to this. But what i think is that, you know, there will be power struggle the top. None of these are due infections. Does really a good job of representing your on young people. And so they will be power struggles at a top, but they run in people under civic movements and the popular movements will not take it back. See for long then they will for sure i have a period make their mark again on and continue with their struggle for democracy and sort of more representative government. A fascinating 3 areas of developments to keep track of. Thank you so much for doing that for us that i shall do for you. Thank you.
