With the announcement of the death of the president and the minister of foreign affairs, the government council of Iran convened an urgent meeting.
According to the Constitution of Iran, if the president dies, the performance of his duties passes to the vice president.
Since 2021, that position has been held by Mohammad Mokhber.
After 50 days, special elections will be held.
