IN DEPTH | Iran reacts to President Ebrahim Raisi

As government loyalists packed mosques and squares to pray for President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, both killed in a helicopter crash, most shops remained open and authorities made little effort to disrupt daily life.
A year after Raisi's hardline government took violent measures to end the largest anti-establishment demonstrations since the 1979 revolution, opponents even released sneaky videos of people handing out sweets to celebrate his death.
Human rights groups say hundreds of Iranians died in the 2022-2023 demonstrations sparked by the death in custody of a young Iranian Kurdish woman arrested by morality police for violating the country's strict dress codes.
The authorities' handling of a series of political, social and economic crises has deepened the rift between the clerical rulers and society.
