what's up everybody it's your boy Koy
here time to fuel our minds this
terrific Tuesday but man what a
Bittersweet week summertime is almost
upon us and that is awesome but it's
also the last week of the show before
summer break definitely have some things
planned for us over the summer though
some more on that to come all right
let's get you your news in Iran the
country's Army Chief is ordering an
investigation into a deadly helicopter
crash that has shaken the nation Iran's
president Ibrahim RI and several other
officials were killed after their
helicopter crashed in a remote mountain
region in north western part of the
country there was Heavy fog in the area
at the time of the crash risei was a
political hardliner he was voted into
power in 2021 easily beating his
competition the former president Hassan
Rohan
who was more of a moderate RI earned 18
million of the nearly 29 million votes
that were cast Iran is considered an
Islamic Republic or a theocracy meaning
that a religious figure runs the country
in Iran's case that religious leader is
supreme leader Ayatollah Ali kamini an
Islamic fundamentalist RI as president
was second in command his death comes at
a tense moment for the entire Middle
East it was only weeks ago that Iran
launched a fullscale drone and missile
attack on Israel that was retaliation
they said for an Israeli strike on a
diplomatic complex in Syria that killed
several Iranian officials CNN's Ivan
Watson shows us how the people of Iran
are reacting and what's next for the
country Iran in a state of mourning
commemorating the shocking death of
Iranian president Ibrahim rayi he was
killed along with the foreign minister
and seven other officials and crew
members when their helicopter crashed in
remote Mountain M Sunday in the
northwest of the
country during the Frantic hours when
Rescuers searched for the missing
president the most powerful figure in
the Iranian political system supreme
leader Ayatollah Kami declared the
government stable and
strong dear people whether you are
sitting here or will hear my speech
later do not worry there will be no
disruption in the country's
work inside Iran highly polarized
reactions to the sudden death of a
leader irim RI has been a face of
repression um in Iran for very long time
I'm not surprised that many will
celebrate I see more continuity than
change uh regardless of what happens
next according to the Iranian
Constitution the little known vice
president Muhammad mohar has now become
interm president Paving the way for
elections to be held within 50 days this
is a system that has managed this kind
of turmoil uh in the past so in the
short run it can certainly manage troppy
Waters but in the longer run it's a
system that is ideologically bankrupt
messages of condolence are pouring in
from longtime allies like Syria as well
as Russia which launches Iranian Shahed
drones against cities in
Ukraine also publicly mourning risi's
loss Iranian backed militant groups such
as Yemen's houis Hamas
and lebanon's Hezbollah meanwhile few
tears likely to be shed by Iran's sworn
enemy
Israel the two countries long simmering
Shadow War exploded into direct tit
fortat long range strikes just last
month I don't think you will shift
anything in the region or in terms of
Iran's relationship with its neighbors
or or or neighboring Powers that's
because most of the power in Iran lies
with supreme leader Ali who is still in
power and he's the one who is calling
all the
shots how the Islamic Republic deals
with this deadly crash May set the stage
for a much bigger future challenge the
question of succession for Ayatollah Ki
the country's 85-year-old supreme
leader Ivan Watson
CNN next we head to Maryland where the
busy Port of Baltimore is a step closer
to reopening almost two months ago the
dolly cargo ship collided with the
Francis Scott Key bridge causing it to
collapse killing six construction
workers on Monday the ship was finally
dragged away from the crash site several
tugboats pulled the massive 106,000 ton
vessel traveling only one mile hour
dolly is now docked at seagert marine
terminal in Baltimore CNN's Amy Kylie
has more about dol's removal and what
will happen now to the crew of workers
who have remained on board the ship ever
since it crashed
recent demolition work is what gave the
dolly cargo ship a path to Freedom it's
been stuck under the wreckage of
Baltimore's Francis Scott Key bridge
since it hit the structure and caused
its collapse in March we're very lucky
that the hull was never damaged at all
during the event officials say
transporting the dolly takes up to five
tugboats I mean we have a ship that's
the size of three football fields but
freeing the ship doesn't mean freeing
its crew members regulations have them
stuck on board where they've been since
the crash the law requires a ship like
the dolly to have a crew at all times
now the workers visas have expired the
union representative says they're
waiting for immigration officials to
tell them when they can go home further
complicating matters is the ongoing
investigation without the propeller
turning the rudder was less effective
they were essentially drifting the union
says the FBI confiscated crew members
cell phones last month and they feel
disconnected did from family the company
that manages the dolly says it hopes
authorities will let the workers
disembark soon as for the channel the
Army Corp of Engineers says soon we
going to be able to bring anything
through the Port of Baltimore anything
that would have come through before I'm
Amy kyy
reporting next let's go to Arizona where
a wildfire there is growing officials
say the so-called Wildcat fire more than
doubled in size over the weekend and is
0% contained so far it has scorched more
than 12,000 Acres of the Tanto National
Forest Tanto is Arizona's biggest
National Forest at more than 2.9 Million
total Acres as fire officials try to get
the Wildfire under control they're
pleading with drone operators to stop
Flying near the fire they say the drones
interfere with firefighting efforts and
could cause midair
collisions Pop Quiz Hot Shots which of
these sea crits is the most expensive
Seafood Lobster blue fin tuna puffer
fish or
caviar bet you said caviar didn't you
don't go fishing for compliments if you
did because blue fin tuna is your answer
blue fin is so expensive because it's on
the endangered list in 2019 a sushi
restaurant tour paid more than 3 million
bucks for a 612 lb blue fin tuna talk
about expensive taste personally I'm on
a seafood diet I eat whatever food I see
but for those of us that actually like
seafood there will be fewer Red Lobster
restaurants to attack the world's
largest seafood restaurant chain just
filed for bankruptcy the company has
more than one billion dollars in debt
and less than $30 million in cash
bankruptcy doesn't mean Red Lobster is
going out of business completely instead
it plans to sell the company to its
lenders but it will definitely be
closing many of its restaurants in the
[Applause]
