What will change after Raisi’s death? What experts are saying on Iran’s policy on America-Israel

New Delhi: The sudden death of Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi (63) has raised many questions. After winning a disputed and controlled election in 2021, Raisi was in the news for taking a tough stance on nuclear talks. The year he won the election was the year with the historically lowest turnout in Iran. Raisi became one of the hardliners and powerful faces in domestic politics, who always remained in controversies.

In the domestic politics of Iran, his image had emerged as a very radical leader. Just a year after her election, she created a movement in the country due to her strict implementation of the Hijab law. The purpose of this law was to impose restrictions on the dress and behavior of women. Kurdish Iranian woman Masha Amini died in the custody of the Moral Police. After this there were protests across the country. The movement was suppressed with utmost severity. The agitators were hanged.

Qamar Agha, an expert in international politics, says that after Raisi’s death, there will not be much difference on Iran’s policy. Agha says, whether it is the enrichment of uranium, or carrying forward the policy of de-dollarization through entry into BRICS, there are no signs of deviating from the foreign policy that Iran has been following for decades. Along with this, Raisi did everything he could to further his anti-Israel policy. By withdrawing from the nuclear deal with the US and then pursuing a policy of uranium enrichment, Raisi maintained a tough stance.

Be it supporting Russia’s attack in Ukraine or supporting Houthi rebels. He tried every trick of Geo-Polycticus which proved to further anti-America. Aga says that the restoration of diplomatic relations and commencement of talks with Saudi Arabia last year was also a major diplomatic event that happened during his time. It takes time for the new President to take charge and then to fully understand and control the situation. In such a situation, amidst the daily changing world situation, everyone’s eyes will be on Iran and the events related to it.
