The helicopter crashed in thick fog in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province as Raisi was on his way back from inaugurating a dam project.
With a president, legislative body and a judiciary, three branches of Iran’s government at first glance bear basic similarities to the United States. The key difference? The supreme leader, Iran’s head of state and top authority over religious, military and political life. An 86-member council of clerics known as the Assembly of Experts selects the supreme leader, while the public elects the president, the second-highest official in Iran.
The president runs day-to-day governance but is subordinate to the supreme leader, who holds the strongest financial, political, social and religious power. The supreme leader sets Iran’s social and political agenda, commands the armed forces and controls the multibillion-dollar quasi-governmental financial organization Setad.
