When Iranian President Raisi got into trouble, the first reaction of netizens was, "Has the United States done something bad again?" Is it related to US sanctions? It is hard not to wonder whether the United States and Israel were involved in this incident.

At this time, a former US military officer spoke up. According to CNN, a retired US military officer said that the helicopter involved in the accident was a Bell 212 helicopter, which was born in the late 1960s. Since the US began to impose sanctions on Iran, it has been difficult for Iran to obtain spare parts, which may have been one of the factors leading to the accident. This statement is undoubtedly adding insult to injury, meaning that they have to rely on our country's equipment for everything, and dare to come out and resist us? It's like seeking death.
There is no doubt that Iran is a country that opposes American hegemony, and Iran has time and again used its tough attitude to show the outside world that Iran is not just "talking big." But at the same time, Iran still has a certain liking for American-made equipment. Perhaps what I said is a bit conservative.
Normally, the missions performed by the president of a country are very important and require adequate safety guarantees. If conditions permit, they should undoubtedly be replaced with the best aircraft that the country can afford. Especially for old models, if maintenance is not done properly, there may be great safety hazards. What's more, the avionics safety of the last century is definitely lacking compared to the avionics of the 21st century.
Now that the United States and Iran are still on the verge of a war, there are many uncertainties. Americans must be worried that the outside world will put the blame for the plane crash on the United States, so American officials have long stated that there is no evidence that the Iranian plane crash was a murder. Coincidentally, Israeli officials also quickly spoke out to refute the rumor, saying that the death of the Iranian president has nothing to do with Israel. Some time ago, Israel and Iran staged a "you come and I go" revenge scene in the Middle East, and I believe many people still remember it vividly.
This is one of the few Middle Eastern countries that dared to directly attack Israel since Israel launched its attack on Hamas. The sudden death of Iranian senior officials at this time is a blow to the anti-US-Israel forces in the Middle East. Some people may ask, will the internal situation in Iran be disrupted? Or will it be taken advantage of by others to affect the overall situation in the Middle East?
In fact, this is not the case. As long as Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei is still in power, the overall situation will not be in chaos. This is related to Iran's political system. We will not elaborate on it here. Anyway, the position of Iranian president is the "number two figure" in Iranian politics. Raisi's accident this time is indeed a big blow to Iran's political arena. After all, there are rumors outside that he is Khamenei's trusted and favored "successor."
But now Iran has to deal with this accident on the one hand, and calm domestic emotions and stabilize the political situation on the other. Moreover, the relationship between Iran and the United States is not continuing to deteriorate. Both sides have begun to try to ease the relationship. Iran has not completely "broken off" with the United States and Israel in the Middle East.
So, it seems that in the short term, the situation in the Middle East will not fluctuate too much, but this depends on the results of the investigation into the incident involving the Iranian president and the ultimate cause.
