Iran’s Assembly of Experts will hold a session within the next 24 hours to elect a new Supreme Leader, member of the body Ayatollah Mohammad Mozafari said on Saturday, according to Iran’s Fars News Agency.
Mozafari, a member of the Assembly of Experts —the clerical body constitutionally responsible for appointing Iran’s Supreme Leader— said the meeting would be convened to begin the formal process of selecting a successor.
The announcement comes following the reported killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei during recent US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
