Iran: Vice President Mokhber to Take Over as President After Raisi’s Death

Iran’s first vice president, Muhammad Mukhbar, is set to assume the presidency following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash on Sunday. According to the Iranian constitution, the first vice president takes over in the event of the president’s death or incapacitation.

Mukhbar’s appointment requires the approval of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say in all state affairs. Presidential elections to choose a permanent successor will be held within 50 days, as stipulated by the constitution.

Mukhbar, 68, has held various official positions, including chairing the Execution of Imam Khomeini’s Order, a state economic conglomerate, since 2007. He was appointed vice president in 2021 when Raisi took office.

The presidential elections will be held every four years, and the president is responsible for appointing and directing the cabinet, with the assistance of several vice presidents. The position of prime minister does not exist in Iran.
