    the person who takes Raisi’s place is going to be really influential

    Impossible. President of Iran is a powerless figurehead position.

    The next Supreme Leader will be relevant, though.

      This is my bad; I had read somewhere that the president would be considered for the role of Supreme Leader. Upon further reading, it seems this is not the case.

        Not the case but Raisi was considered to be the favorite along with the supreme leaders son in a close second

          Yeah, that must be what I was reading and then assumed that the role of president generally improved chances of being selected.

          Reading comprehension is cool, kids!
