Starting point is 00:01:00 From executive producer Isaac Saul, this is Tangle. Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, and welcome to the Tangle podcast, the place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take. I'm your host, Isaac Saul, and on today's episode, we're going to be talking about the death of Iran's president. I'm going to share some views of mine about what this might do to the region, and of course, some perspectives from the left and the right, and today, some perspectives from Iran as well, which feels really important. Before we jump in, I want to thank everybody for going and checking out that pen YouTube video where I went and spent some time at the encampment. It has over 5,000 views already. I'd love to keep

This morning, we have breaking news that could have major implications for the world. Iran has now confirmed the death of its president and the country's foreign minister in a helicopter crash on Sunday. It took searchers hours to find the wreckage in dense and foggy conditions in steep and mountainous terrain in northwestern Iran. The Iranian president's helicopter crashed in the mountains of northern Iran. Rescue workers trekked through dense fog to retrieve the bodies. President Raisi, a hardline conservative leader in the Islamic Republic, was returning from a meeting with the leader of neighbouring Azerbaijan. This morning, Iranians lining the streets for the president's funeral. A series of ceremonies

Starting point is 00:04:29 lasting days. Crowds carrying flags and pictures reaching out to touch the coffins of Ibrahim Raisi and the other officials killed on a slow-moving truck. On Sunday, a helicopter carrying Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdel-Ahian, and six others crashed near Julfa, Iran. After an extensive search and rescue effort, the crash site was located on Monday morning, and Raisi, Abdel-Ahian, and all other occupants of the helicopter were pronounced dead. Vice President Mohamed Mokhmer will be serving as acting president until a new election is held on June 28. The Islamic Republic News Agency said the cause of the crash was a technical failure, though the crash occurred in foggy conditions amid mountainous

Starting point is 00:05:15 terrain. Those same factors, along with more inclement weather, hampered the search for the crash. Raisi began his political career in the 1980s as a prosecutor who served on the death commissions that ordered the execution of thousands of political prisoners, militants, and others following the Iran-Iraq war. His subsequent rise through Iran's judiciary was buoyed by close relationships with religious leaders in the holy city of Qom, where Raisi studied at a religious seminary and took part in the 1979 Iranian revolution. In 2021, Raisi won the presidency with 62% of the 28.9 million votes cast, the lowest proportional turnout in Iran's history.

Starting point is 00:05:57 As president, he worked to grow Iran's regional influence while overseeing violent internal crackdowns on political opponents, most notably during a 2022 uprising against the Islamic Republic's rule. Amir Abdullahi was a career diplomat and conservative hardliner who played a key role in negotiations with the U.S. over Iran's nuclear program, culminating in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. During Raisi's presidency, he had been working to ease tensions with Saudi Arabia, an effort that stalled out following Hamas's October 7th attack on Israel. clear deal. During Raisi's presidency, he had been working to ease tensions with Saudi Arabia, an effort that stalled out following Hamas's October 7th attack on Israel. Raisi and Amir Abdel-Ahian's deaths have prompted a divided response in Iran. While supporters of the government gathered in mosques and public spaces to mourn, their political opponents celebrated

Starting point is 00:06:40 in the streets and on social media, despite warnings against doing so. Broadly speaking, public life in Iran has not been disturbed, a stark contrast to the reactions following the deaths of other Iranian leaders like General Qasem Soleimani. While Raisi's death is unlikely to result in major changes to Iran's government, it upends the likely succession plan for Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Raisi was a favorite to replace the 85-year-old Khamenei, who oversees all domestic and foreign affairs and had reportedly been preparing Raisi to assume his role. Khamenei's son, Moshzaba Khamenei, is also a potential successor, but many experts have suggested naming him could set off unrest in Iran, which has

Starting point is 00:07:21 consciously avoided hereditary rule since the Iranian revolution. Khamenei's lack of legitimacy and popularity means he'd be entirely reliant on the Revolutionary Guards to maintain order. This could hasten the regime's transition to military rule, or its potential collapse, said Iranian-American policy analyst Karim Sajjapour. Beyond its succession crisis, Iran is contending with a host of predicaments at home and abroad, including a depreciated currency, corruption scandals, water contending with a host of predicaments at home and abroad, including a depreciated currency, corruption scandals, water shortages, and a surge of terrorism. Further, the country's long-simmering conflict with Israel escalated in April with a series of strikes and counter-strikes, heightening the possibility of a broader regional war. And how

Starting point is 00:07:59 to approach the development of Iran's nuclear program, an issue that looms over its relationship with the U.S. and other Western regions, will be a key question for the country's next president and supreme leader. Today, we'll explore arguments from the left, right, and international writers about the implication of Raisi's death, and then Isaac's take. We'll be right back after this quick commercial break. First, let's start with some agreement. Writers on the right and the left and abroad agree that Raisi's legacy will be defined by his violent repression of the Iranian people. Most consider him to have been a weak president who mainly carried out Ayatollah Khamenei's wishes. All sides accept that Raisi's death will set off a power struggle to succeed Khamenei, one that could shape Iran's future.

Starting point is 00:08:55 All right, let's move on to what the leftists say. The left views Raisi as a failed leader on both social and economic fronts. Many, though, expect his replacement will continue his authoritarian policies. In Bloomberg, Mark Champion said President Raisi was a failure. Raisi was not only a protege of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but also closer in his purest religious and political views. So it matters that at home, where the future of the regime will ultimately be determined, the man chosen to restore faith in and obedience to the Islamic revolution failed, Champion wrote. Even Raisi's election success in 2021 was, in reality, a sign of failure. It was the first presidential vote to produce no benefit whatsoever as a tool of legitimation for Khamenei at a time when the 40-year-old revolution's appeal had faded. One of Raisi's earliest decisions was to order a crackdown ostensibly

Starting point is 00:09:45 to ensure female modesty and chastity. The protests that followed were the largest in the history of the Islamic Republic, posing the greatest domestic threat to the regime's survival since the revolution, Champion said. Raisi did no better on the economy. Despite a significant rise in oil exports as the U.S. eased sanctions enforcement and a large boost to government spending, the International Monetary Fund projects Iran's economy to grow by 3.3 percent this year. That may sound healthy enough, but it's a poor outcome that signifies declining living standards given the high pace of inflation. In CNN, Frida Gittes wrote, Iran's president is dead. The cruel show goes on. In the hours, weeks, and months ahead, Iran's power centers will no doubt engage in fierce infighting for key positions as the

Starting point is 00:10:30 Islamic Republic selects a new president, the country's second most powerful position, and constructs the alignments that will determine who becomes the next supreme leader, Gita said. It's remarkable in this crucial battle over the future of Iran and who will lead it for potentially years to come, if not decades, that millions of Iranians, perhaps even the majority of people, will have no voice, no one to represent their views. The unfolding reshuffling of power in Tehran is also of great interest to Arab countries. Iran's traditional rival, Saudi Arabia, will be closely watching. But it is inside Iran where the quest for power will unfold, and where its impact will be most directly felt, Geddes wrote. The chance of a kinder, gentler Iran emerging after new presidential elections are held

Starting point is 00:11:11 in 50 days are essentially nil. Raisi is dead, and the odds are that he'll be replaced by another hardliner. For Iranians who celebrated his demise, left out of the planning for the future of their country, the only consolation is that no regime lasts forever. Alright, that is it for what the left is saying, which brings us to what the right is saying. The right is glad that Raisi is gone, but believes he had little impact on Iran's overarching trajectory. Some suggest the U.S. should leverage his death to push for a more moderate leader. The New York Post editorial board argued Raisi's death won't change anything.

Starting point is 00:11:55 It's a very good thing that Iran's president, Ibrahim Raisi, is dead. He was committed both to the evil ideology he espoused and to the violent repression so necessary to maintaining its grip on Iran, the board wrote. He was also a committed American and Israel hater, key qualifications for any man, and in the Islamic Republic, it can only ever be a man, aspiring to ultimate power in Tehran. His death may destabilize what is widely seen as the line of succession for Khamenei, now 85. But in the medium term, it sadly seems unlikely to change anything significantly. Iran is still committed to its project of regional hegemony, a project far bigger than Raisi. The Islamic Republic has scored a number of big wins on that front through proxies in recent months. The Houthi offensive against the Red Sea shipping,

Starting point is 00:12:41 Hamas's October 7th atrocities, the gathering storm of the Israel-Hezbollah war. These have come thanks not only to Iran's aggression, but also to first Biden administration haplessness and then the White House's recent hard anti-Israel tilt, the board said. Defeating Iran requires bold, strong action. Waiting and hoping for its leadership to die out is guaranteed to be a losing strategy. In the Wall Street Journal, Shea Hahteri wrote about Iran's succession after Ibrahim Raisi. There are three major power brokers in Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the clergy, and the people. The IRGC is the wealthiest. The clergy has ideological legitimacy among the 10-20% of Iranians who support the regime and are religious.

Starting point is 00:13:31 However imperialist the Islamic Republic might be, it is foremost a theocracy. The people are the largest faction but have no power within the system. They do, however, have a fearsome capacity to disrupt domestic order and perhaps even topple the regime, Khatiri wrote. None of the three sides will agree to a compromise when Khamenei departs the scene. The likeliest outcome following Mr. Khamenei's death is a council of leaders, three men leading the regime so none can become a cult figure, and all three factions will get a candidate that will appeal to them. But the Iranian people wouldn't accept such a council, Khatiri wrote. The U.S. should take advantage of such unrest. After a 2015 nuclear deal failed to modify the regime's behavior, even most Democrats abandon hope that the regime will reform itself. Everyone needs to take this analysis to its logical conclusion to accept that indigenous regime change, supported by the U.S., is the only solution to the Iran problem. Mr. Khamenei is the glue that holds

Starting point is 00:14:20 the regime together. His death would create a vacuum to exploit. All right, that's it for what some writers on the right and the left are saying, which brings us to what some international writers are saying. Writers abroad say Iran will decide between radicalism and moderation in choosing Raisi's successor. Others call his death a disruptive event, but one that's unlikely to shake up Iranian politics. In the Middle East Eye, Saeed Hossein Masovanian said, the president's death leaves Iran at a crossroads. Based on Charles Yu's award-winning book, Interior Chinatown follows the story of Willis Wu, a background character trapped in a police procedural who dreams about a world beyond Chinatown.

The most significant reaction from the RIEC government was to distance itself from the

Starting point is 00:16:01 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal, expand its nuclear program, and become a nuclear threshold state. That is the most significant legacy of Raisi's era. It remains to be seen if Iran will become a nuclear state following Raisi's death, Mosavanian wrote. The U.S. and Europe currently lack any diplomatic initiative or willingness to engage in any serious and broad dialogue with Iran, instead focusing on increasing sanctions, threats, and bullying. If this trend continues, then regardless of who the next president of

Starting point is 00:16:29 Iran might be, Tehran will likely press ahead with acquiring nuclear capabilities. At home, Raisi was the first president of Iran during the 35-year leadership of Ayatollah Khamenei to be fully aligned with the leadership's policies domestically, regionally, and internationally, Mossovanian added. After Raisi, two hypotheses regarding Iran's domestic policy are foreseeable. One suggests that the radical principalists will tighten their grip and fully control the government, which may lead to escalated tensions between Iran and the West. The second hypothesis is that, with the guidance of the leadership, moderate forces within the principalist camp will enter the scene, which would increase the chances of easing tensions between Iran and the

Starting point is 00:17:09 West. In the New Arab, Tanya Godzossian wrote that, for Iran, Raisi's death, too, shall pass. Whether the death of President Ibrahim Raisi was the result of a tragic aircraft mishap or a targeted killing is less important than the consequences to follow, Godzossian wrote. Basic governing institutions are in place and show no signs of fracture. That was made apparent in the 2009 Green Movement uprisings, and Raisi's passing is a far less consequential event. Nor will Raisi's death have significant consequences on Iranian foreign policy. It won't affect the Gaza war. It won't slow down the expansion of the IRGC's mission to expand the axis of resistance. It will not change the impasse

Starting point is 00:17:50 on nuclear talks with the United States, nor will it impact the growing alliance between Russia and China, Gotsosian wrote. Raisi's death is a tragedy for the Iranian people and introduces a measure of uncertainty to the internal affairs of Iran. Yet, while it may cause unexpected elections and selections to key government officials, that uncertainty is unlikely to introduce instability either within Iran or in its foreign policy. And now let's send it over to Isaac for his take. All right, so that is it for what the left and the right are saying and some views from abroad, which brings us to my take. Look, I am not going to speak authoritatively about what's going to happen inside Iran because the truth is I don't know. I'm not one to celebrate any person's death, and I'm also not going to do that here. At the same time, I'm not going to

Starting point is 00:18:50 whitewash someone's legacy just because they're gone. Self-loathing Americans and foreign commentators love to blame the U.S. for all the ails of the Middle East, from instability across the region to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Few actors, though, deserve as much blame as Iran. Leaders like Raisi have not just funded proxy wars across the region and oppressed their own people, they've done it for a rotten goal, the revival of militant Shiite Islamism. The grand Sunni-Shia battle is at the heart of so much of the region's current political paradigms, it's hard to overstate. And Iran has spent significant resources spreading extremism throughout the Middle East in its never-ending war with the rival Sunni faction, taking on Israel and the West in the process. Unfortunately, not nearly enough is said about Iran's direct role in regional conflicts,

Starting point is 00:19:46 because the framing in the West often myopically focuses on U.S. and Israeli power centers. When the Houthis are firing rockets at civilian merchant ships, they're doing so with express support, militarily and politically, from the Iranian regime. The same is true of Hezbollah shooting rockets into northern Israel or militants in Iraq attacking U.S. bases. The truth is that Iran's reach is wide, its influence is massive, and its primary enemy, Saudi Arabia, is reaching further and further into the Western world for support and alliance, which represents a major threat to Shiite leaders. As a result, Iran has turned increasingly to large power centers of its

Starting point is 00:20:25 own, like Russia and China, creating the global alignment that we all have to navigate today. Along with recent events like the first attack by Israel on Iran's soil and the successfully parried Iranian response, which was still one of the largest military attacks ever in the Middle East, the alignment of political heavyweights on the side of a bellicose Iran seemed to be straining the balance of power on its axis. On the one hand, a power vacuum in a nation like Iran might be an opportunity. We might hope the Iranian population, more secularized and more interested in peaceful relations with the West than its leaders, will press toward bringing a more moderate leader into power. Pessimistically, and perhaps much more realistically, the odds seem strongest that a Raisi-like figure will fill the void, and the

Starting point is 00:21:11 time between now and then will only be full of danger and destabilization. Predicting where we go from here, or how Raisi's death impacts the future, is a fraught game, and your guess is as good as mine. The Obama and Biden policy positions toward Iran seem to have utterly failed, only unlocking the Islamic Republic's power and influence in the region without any real advancement of U.S. interests. The Trump era was the only spate of the last 16 years that included any real stretches of peace, a reality more pundits might take note of. Toward the end of a podcast we link to in today's newsletter, the journalist Jacob Siegel speaks cogently about the success of Trump's policies toward Iran relative to what

Starting point is 00:21:50 Obama did and Biden has done. According to Iran's constitution, a vice president will take over until an election, which must be held within 50 days of last Sunday. Iran analyst and expert Karim Sajapur has argued that we are about to witness a succession crisis and that an attempt by the supreme leader to install his own son, one potential outcome, may lead to popular unrest. Again, the power vacuum here is an opportunity, but a risky and destabilizing one. I'll leave it to the experts on what comes next, but I'll leave you with this. Iran is a country worth watching. Its desires, its strength, and its coalition building all have a direct impact on

Starting point is 00:22:30 America's influence overseas, and it holds a particular salience for our allies in the Middle East and Asia. So wherever Iran goes from here, we are certain to feel the repercussions one way or another. We'll be right back after this quick break. All right, that is it for my take, which brings us to today's reader question, which is from an anonymous reader in Berkeley, California. They wrote, Why not have an under-the-radar story pointing out, according to the Axios article linked today, that the number of all white schools has plunged 90%? This fact kind of got overlooked, probably since it doesn't promote a story of surging racism. Okay, well, frankly, we didn't do that because the story that we linked to already included that fact, but I want to just start by addressing that you're right on the statistic and that you're

Starting point is 00:23:28 right that we didn't focus on it. To recap really quick for those that might not have heard or maybe missed it, last week in our Under the Radar section, we included a story from Axios with the headline, quote, school segregation surges 70 years after Brown v. Board ruling, highlighting the fact that the share of schools with a 90% plus non-white student body has increased dramatically over the past three decades. In a section toward the end of that story, titled Yes, But, Axios pointed out that there were 551 public schools that were all white in 2021, down from 5,339 in 1990. That is an important detail to show that full segregation isn't happening. So why didn't we talk about it? Are we promoting an agenda ringing alarm bells about rising racism? Well, no. We just didn't think it was

Starting point is 00:24:20 the salient part of the story. If all white and all non-white schools had been increasing over that span, we'd already have known about it. Almost by definition, if schools were fully segregating, some organized effort would be behind it, and it wouldn't really be under the radar. I'll also say that the number of all white schools decreasing actually does promote the story that Axios was trying to tell, which is that selective segregation has been occurring broadly across the country. I don't think it's a story of surging racism, but there's definitely a racial element at play. And I thought the Axios piece was worth sharing because it makes us all wonder what is driving the trend, and it provides a lot of context for considering the problem, but didn't give us an

Starting point is 00:25:00 easy and shallow answer to try to explain why. All right, that is it for my take and your questions answered. I'm going to send it back to John. I have to concede something before I do. I spent like an hour this morning down a prepper's rabbit hole. I think I'm going to have to write about this. So I'm just a little preview of maybe something that's coming. I just, I got on the prepper's Reddit and my wife makes fun of me because I'm sort of kind of preppy myself. I just like, I like having, you know, a full gallon of water and fresh batteries in the house. But I'm on the Preppers Reddit thread now

Starting point is 00:25:33 and man, it's awesome. There's a lot of really good content in there. And that might be a community I'm gonna have to spend some time with soon. So just a preview, you know, just another morning at Tangle HQ. All right. I'm sending it back to John. I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Starting point is 00:25:50 Peace. Thanks, Isaac. I have no idea what the Preppers Reddit is. And now I am like about to go over there. I'm maybe not even going to finish the pod. No, I'll finish the podcast first, but then I'm going to check out that prepper's Reddit. All right, here's your Under the Radar story for today.

Starting point is 00:26:11 Cyber attacks against water utilities across the country will become more frequent and more severe, the Environmental Protection Agency warned on Monday. 70% of utilities inspected by federal officials did not meet the standards set to prevent such breaches or instructions, the agency said, calling on even the smallest water systems to improve their protections against hacks. Attacks on water systems aren't new, but more recently, the attackers have gone after utilities operations rather than just their websites. The EPA has warned that disruptions

The percentage of eligible voters who turned out for Iran's 2021 election is 41%, the lowest since the Islamic Republic's founding in 1979. The increase in Iranians' approval of the country's leadership between 2020 and 2021 was 7%, according to Gallup. The decrease in Iranians' approval of the country's leadership between 2021 and 2022 was 6%. Iranians' projected percentage in real GDP for 2024 is plus 3.3%, according to

Starting point is 00:27:33 the International Monetary Fund. The projected percentage change in consumer goods prices in Iran for 2024 is plus 37.5%. The percentage change in inflation in Iran between March 2022 and March 2023 is plus 46.5%, according to the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran. And the number of protesters who were killed during the Women, Life, Freedom protests in Iran in 2022 was 551, according to Iran Human Rights. in 2022, was 551, according to Iran Human Rights. All right, and last but not least, our Have a Nice Day story.

Starting point is 00:28:21 Palo Alto Police Department statistics released earlier this year, the city has dramatically decreased its total. In 2023, East Palo Alto had zero homicides.
