@Daojoan "....as country prays." Um, yeah, prays that he's dead seems like the sentiment of many inside Iran...

@fifilamoura @Daojoan if he's dead, won't there be a war?

fifilamoura, 23 days ago

@evan Do you mean a civil war or regional war? There's already war (on the Kurds and on women inside Iran, and also some retaliation against Israel while trying to avoid war with Israel). What there is right now are more unknowns... Will Iran declare this an accident or try to claim it's an attack? Who in the hierarchy will replace the two key members of government? Where does this leave other players in the region, both those allied with Iran and those not? Will Iranians try to use this as an opportunity for revolution? How deadly will the repression inside Iran be? @Daojoan

@fifilamoura @Daojoan Yeah, seems like a great possibility for instability. The death of a president under mysterious circumstances only weeks after an interchange of missiles with Israel seems like a very dangerous situation.

@Daojoan
I read that the rescuers had cell phone contact with 2 members of the crew.
But they lie so much , who knows.
