The Iranian Assembly of Experts has announced that it has reached a final decision concerning the appointment of a new Supreme Leader, according to a report released on Sunday by the semi‑official news agency Mehr.
“A majority consensus on the successor to the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has more or less been achieved,” said Ayatollah Mohammadmehdi Mirbaqeri, a member of the Assembly.
Remaining Hurdles
Despite the apparent consensus, Ayatollah Mirbaqeri warned that “some obstacles still need to be overcome in the process.” He emphasized that the work must be precise to avoid any controversy or dispute.
U.S. President’s Stance
Earlier this week, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that he should be personally involved in selecting the next Iranian Supreme Leader. The claim was reported by the American news outlet Axios on Thursday.
Alleged Joint Attack on Tehran
On 28 February, the article alleges that a Zionist entity together with the United States launched coordinated attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities. According to the report, the strikes resulted in the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with numerous others—including members of the leader’s family, high‑ranking military commanders, and civilians.
