On May 21, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement urging the continuation of the policies and political line of late President Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash on May 19 in East Azerbaijan province.

In its message, the IRGC stressed the importance of maintaining the country’s stability and progress under the leadership of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The force affirmed its support for all efforts to protect national security and advance the goals of the Islamic Revolution.

Raisi, 63, was known for his hardline domestic and foreign policy. He died alongside Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and several other officials when their helicopter crashed in adverse weather. Funeral services were held in multiple cities across Iran, drawing millions of mourners.

Under Iran’s constitution, First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber is now acting president, and a new presidential election must be held within 50 days. The IRGC pledged to support a smooth transition of power.
