    well Raisi specifically was a serious candidate. Ahmadinejad fell out of favours with Khamenei as he was deemed too nationalist, and Rouhani apparently was too weak on foreign policy

      Even if that is the case, I doubt he was the only serious candidate. They wouldn’t have been that short-sighted. This is not the end of the regime. This will barely make an impact in the lives of most Iranians.
