Legal procedure for succession after Raisi

According to Article 131 of Iran's constitution, the First Vice President, now Mohammad Mokhber, assumes the role of acting president immediately upon the death of the incumbent. With the approval of the Supreme Leader, Mokhber shall assume the powers and functions of the President.

Additionally, a Council, consisting of the Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, head of the judicial power, and the first deputy of the President, is obliged to arrange for a new President to be elected within a maximum period of fifty days.

In case of death of the first deputy to the President, or other matters which prevent him to perform his duties, or when the President does not have a first deputy, the Leader shall appoint another person in his place.
