Summary

Iranian state media has reported Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country's foreign minister and several other officials died after their helicopter crashed in a mountainous region of the country. Tehran says the chopper crashed due to a technical issue and confirmation of the deaths took a while due to foggy conditions. After years of mass protests over Iran's Shiite theocracy, a struggling economy and attacks on women's rights and the war in Gaza, what will Raisi's death mean to Iran and the world? FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Andrew Ghalili, Senior Policy Analyst at the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI), who explains the impact of President Raisi's death and what more the United States could help the Iranian people who want change.
