According to Reuters and BBC, the leaders of the Iranian government, parliament and judiciary decided after a meeting on the 20th that the 14th Iranian presidential election would be held on June 28. According to the electoral timetable, candidates will be registered from May 30 to June 3, and the election campaign will be held from June 12 to 27.

When analyzing Lech's successor, the BBC pointed out that at present, Iran's conservative camp has complex factional struggles, "even in Lech's team, there seems to be no obvious successor". At present, Mukhber, the first vice president acting as president, is regarded as a moderate conservative. Like Leahy, he has "close relations" with the supreme leader Khamenei.

The other person who is considered to be hopeful to be elected as the new president is Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Jalili. He had twice failed in his presidential election in 2013 and 2021. As a hardline representative, Jalili advocated against any interaction with the United States. Leslie's cronies may become supporters of Jalili.

According to the analysis of The Economist, in addition to the need to quickly elect a new president in a short period of time to confront the United States, Israel and other countries in the current turbulent and complex situation in the Middle East, Iran's political arena also needs to prevent the possibility of economic decline again and domestic conflicts triggering chaos.

The United Nations headquarters in New York flew the flag at half mast on the 21st. Leahy's body arrived in the capital Tehran on the 21st. Iranian media showed that there was an empty seat on the plane carrying Lech's coffin, covered with black cloth, and a picture of Lech.
