    "sending shock waves across the nation" You mean, sending waves of celebration across the nation.

    Why are they saying people are upset. No one liked him and are relieved

    Live your life in such a way that people will not dance and release fireworks when they hear about your death.

    The tragedy of his death is not commensurate with the tragedies wrought by his living.

    Wow that’s one foggy location. You would think the pilot would ground the vehicle until better visibility.

    Elections are a joke when there’s a Supreme Leader sitting on the top of the mountain 😂😂😂

    5 days of mourning? Is that after the jubilation and celebrations???
  • @BePatient888
    Iran's President is not the head of State. THAT is the Supreme Leader. But the President executes domestic policy, so the new "election" will replace him with another person chosen by the Supreme Leader. The election will be a referendum on the Supreme Leader's choice of candidates.
