With the shocking death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, some fear that the country could descend into chaos and violence.

An unusual request for help made by Iran to the United States government wasn't ultimately fulfilled for unclear reasons.

At least The Washington Post had not eulogized Raisi as an austere scholar in the study of murder as of Monday evening.

“One of the main culprits of yesterday’s tragedy is the United States," said Mohammad Javad Zarif, former Iranian foreign minister.

"This video I received from inside Iran speaks volumes about how oppressed people celebrate the death of their oppressors."

Rescue crews seeking to find the heliopter that crashed carrying Iran's president were battling dense fog as they combed a remote location.

Reports out of Iran indicate that a helicopter carrying the nation's president has gone down, but details so far are very sparse.

The election of hardline cleric Ebrahim Raisi to the country's presidency puts the future of the nuclear agreement in question.

After Iran's election, the new prime minister of another Middle Eastern country warned the United States not to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal. 

Iran's president-elect rejected a meeting with President Joe Biden and instead issued demands to the United States.
