00:00 Since the sudden death of Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi,

00:04 the eye have been analyzing videos coming out of Iran.

00:07 And this is what we found.

00:09 Raisi was deeply unpopular among many,

00:12 recently in part because he oversaw a brutal crackdown on protesters.

00:17 People were demonstrating against the regime's treatment of women

00:20 and the poor economic conditions in the country.

00:23 The government's response led to the detention and killing of many young people.

00:29 A helicopter that Raisi and the country's foreign minister were traveling in

00:34 crashed on Sunday, sparking a high-profile search.

00:38 When his death was confirmed, Iranians began letting off fireworks

00:45 and handing out sweets.

00:47 There's also already graffiti on the street celebrating the president's death.

00:52 Now, it's hard to verify videos coming out of Iran

00:56 as people hide details that could identify them

00:59 in fear of being punished for speaking out.

01:02 But these videos appear to be new and were shared by reliable sources.

01:07 While Iranian state TV captured mourners paying their respects in city centers,

01:12 social media paints a clear picture.

01:15 Opposition to the Iranian regime is still fierce,

01:19 with people risking their lives to speak out.
