Iran's Assembly of Experts reached a majority consensus on Sunday on a successor to Iran's supreme religious leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on February 28 in Israeli-American strikes on Tehran. However, the Iranian government is for now keeping the name of the new leader secret. The selection process took place on an accelerated basis, with the clergy united on the timing of the country's leadership. aktuality.sk ↗ interez.sk ↗
According to available information, the Assembly of Experts is leaning toward Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the slain leader, who has strong ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Mojtaba Khamenei would continue the regime's hardline course and may have access to billions of dollars in assets spread from London to the Persian Gulf. However, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz declared that the new leader will be an "unambiguous target for elimination," thereby warning the future leader about his policy. hnonline.sk ↗ denikn.cz ↗
Iran's political system remains relatively stable despite Khamenei's death. The country was temporarily led by Ayatollah Alireza Arafi, who ensured continuity of top-level power during the critical transitional period. However, the new leader faces serious challenges, including missile attacks on Israeli and American targets and a potential further Israeli operation. Officials say they are prepared for all scenarios, while Iran continues to pursue its policy. lidovky.cz ↗ idnes.cz ↗
