On Sunday, Iran’s Assembly of Experts elected a new Supreme Leader to succeed Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28. Council members confirmed that the vote was successfully conducted and a leader was chosen, though the name has not yet been publicly announced.
Assembly member Ahmad Alamolhoda stated, “The vote for the Supreme Leader has taken place, and a leader has been selected,” emphasizing that the council’s secretariat will announce the name at a later time. The announcement is highly anticipated both domestically and internationally, given its potential impact on Iran’s political and regional landscape.
