The deaths of President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian have left Iran without two influential leaders at a particularly tumultuous political moment. But experts said they expected little change in its foreign or domestic policies. Iran’s long-simmering shadow war with Israel burst out into the open after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas, and the countries have traded direct attacks in recent months. The supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said there would be “no disruption” to the government’s work. Iran’s first vice president, Mohammad Mokhber, would assume the role of acting president and must organize elections for a new president within 50 days, Ayatollah Khamenei added. [But Raisi’s death complicates a difficult search](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoLq9pP0T6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wNS8yMC93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvcmFpc2ktaXJhbi1pbnN0YWJpbGl0eS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDI0MDUyMSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMjM5ODgmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTY3MjgzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpmRWkqTGYC-G3pUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) for the next ruler.

The court’s jurisdiction is not recognized in Israel or Gaza, and it could be months before judges decide whether to issue the warrants. But if they are issued, the leaders could be arrested if they travel to one of the court’s 124 member nations, which include most European countries but not the U.S. Reaction: Speaking at a celebration of Jewish Heritage Month at the White House, [President Biden condemned the decision](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoLq9pP4QCAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjQvMDUvMjAvd29ybGQvbWlkZGxlZWFzdC9iaWRlbi1pc3JhZWwtZ2F6YS1nZW5vY2lkZS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDI0MDUyMSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMjM5ODgmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTY3MjgzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpmRWkqTGYC-G3pUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) of the I.C.C. prosecutor to seek arrest warrants for Israeli leaders.
