Iranian president, Ebrahim Raisi’s death in a helicopter crash comes when the country is faced by unprecedented external challenges as well as an approaching regime change at some point as the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in poor health, reaches his mid 80s.
Raisi, a hard-liner, was loyal to the supreme leader who is the ultimate power and had been mentioned as a possible successor. A new hardline parliament was elected in March on what was widely regarded as a rigged election with turnout for some of the elections falling below 10%, and nationwide was 41%. ‘The effective exclusion of reformists from political participation in parliament for the first time since 1979 adds to the sense of a country in uncharted waters.’
Ebraham Raisi, 14 December 1960, was a Sun Sagittarius; with his Mars in Cancer in a hard-edged opposition to Saturn, earning him a fearsome reputation as an executioner. His Sun at the moment has caught the Solar Arc Saturn exactly squaring his Sun – as the accident-prone Mars Saturn and karma caught up with him.
His Term of Office 5 August 2021 also flagged up an accident-prone tr Uranus opposition the Mars/Saturn midpoint exactly with the SA Saturn moving to oppose the Sun within months of exact, for closure.
Ayatollah Khamenei, 17 July 1939, is under severe pressure with tr Pluto conjunct his Mars and opposition his Pluto and square his Saturn before the year is out. He has had a trying two years; and his Solar Arc Pluto opposition SA Mars are both squaring his Cancer Sun at the moment. Which is a poleaxing amount of pressure.

Add On: There is another birth date for the Ayatollah of 19 April 1939 which may or may not be accurate. One net source gets repeated by other net sources into a concrete fact.
That April birth date looks feasible. A hard Sun Aries conjunct Moon and Saturn square Pluto on one side and Mars in Capricorn on the other. It looks as heavily stressed as the other date with Solar Arc Sun square the Saturn and SA Pluto opposition Saturn sometime over 2024/25.
