Some Iranians worry about who will replace Raisi
Concerns are growing among some people in Iran about who will replace Ebrahim Raisi as president of the Islamic republic after his death in a helicopter crash on Sunday.
"I'm more worried than sad," Mohadeseh Jalali said at Wednesday's funeral in Tehran for Raisi and his entourage who died when their aircraft hit a mountain in northwest Iran during bad weather.
The country is now set to hold an election on June 28 to elect a successor to Raisi.
