Will Iran president's death hasten efforts to build nuclear bomb? | WND
The death of the Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash last Saturday came as a strategic blow to the Iranian regime further weakening the already fragile theocracy.

Additionally, it would seek to divert attention from internal issues by interfering in the region and pursuing belligerent policies. Acquiring a nuclear weapon would serve this goal perfectly.
