To be fair, presidents dying isn’t exactly something that happens on a daily basis. Conspiracy theorists tend to say a lot of stupid things, but I think you guys aren’t any better. Sure everyone who might be related are agreeing that it was just an accident, and it’s probably true, but nothing is for sure yet. Just saying ‘nonsense’, turning your back and never glancing back is just as naive as assuming everything was intended by secret individuals.

4:08 This information is out of date. Ghalibaf is no longer popular, neither among the loyalists nor the general population. The more radical faction of the loyalists hate him and consider him a corrupt technocrat while the more technocratic and moderate loyalists are losing support way faster to disillusion with the regime. Also the radicals have more influence in the IRGC and with Khamenei. Among the general population, his popularity started to go away following massive corruption scandals both towards the end of his term as mayor and after it. Also, if Raisi is known for his job as an "executioner judge", Ghalibaf was also Tehran's chief of police during the 1999 students protests in which he ordered and oversaw a raid on University of Tehran's dormitories which lead to several students being murdered. He's infamous for saying that he would execute "a pincer maneuver" against the students. Finally, the turn out for this election would be historically low. The regime may try to increase the turn out to above 40% by voting fraud and forcing some people (government employees, prisoners and conscripts) to vote but in reality a minority of loyalists would really vote and not cast a blank or protest vote. This religious radical minority is very likely to influenced by the most radical hardliners. Of course, it's not impossible for Khamenei to decide to make Ghalibaf president, however the reasons presented here arr incorrect and so far there's no sign of Khamenei intending any change in his policies.

You should focus more on the "ex-IRGC" side of Ghalibaf (the possible successor), rather than popular and reformer.
