President Ebrahim Raisi and foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian of Iran have died in a helicopter crash. I'm sure this is mere coincidence of course

To be fair, the weather was incredibly bad and the helicopter wasn't in great condition but damn. The timing

    Raisi was never the succesor. His scholarship was not high, even khameneis large sons are more qualified in this aspect... He was a bit of an outsider, his backing was the largest corporation in iran, but he lacked contacts elsewhere. He was not very popular among the elites. Etc.
