Ebrahim Raisi (born December 14, 1960, Mashhad, Iran—died May 19, 2024, near U*i, Iran) was president of Iran (2021–24) before his sudden death in a helicopter crash. The unpopular prosecutor—called the “Butcher of Tehrān” for his role in the ex*****on of thousands of political prisoners in 1988—was thrust to power by the clerical establishment as a potential successor to Ali Khamenei, Iran’s aging leader. He was one of the few figures trusted by hard-liners in both the clerical and security establishments, but his career proved emblematic of the corruption of the Islamic Republic and the suffering of the Iranian people. During his short presidency, the disconnect between the regime and the people erupted following the death of Jina Mahsa Amini in 2022 with the wide-reaching “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests that bordered on revolutionary.
