Editor's Take:

Ebrahim Raisi rose through Iran's justice system as a loyal servant of the Islamic Republic's hardline wing. Human rights groups linked him to the mass executions of political prisoners in 1988. Many Iranians never forgot it. He won the presidency in an election with record-low turnout after major rivals were barred. His time in office saw the 2022 protests over Mahsa Amini's death and a harsh crackdown. His sudden death came during growing regional tension.
