Iran's Assembly of Experts elected a new supreme leader of the country on Sunday, the successor to the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who died on February 28 during Israeli-American attacks on Tehran. The Assembly reached a majority consensus, but Iran is so far keeping the name of the chosen candidate secret. According to available information, Khamenei's son Mojtaba Khamenei, who has ties to the influential Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was counted among the likely successors. aktuality.sk ↗ interez.sk ↗

Khamenei led the Islamic Republic since 1989, and his death represents one of the greatest existential threats to the regime in nearly half a century of its existence. Before the election of the new leader, the position of interim supreme leader was held by Alireza Arafi. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared that Khamenei's successor would be a clear target for elimination. hnonline.sk ↗ SITA ↗

The process of selecting the new leading figure took place in a dynamic situation and under considerable pressure. Iran's political system nevertheless remains relatively stable despite this serious change. The interim council launched after Khamenei's death is coordinating the functioning of the state during the transitional period. The outlook for further developments will depend on the direction chosen by the new leadership in the context of the ongoing conflict and the internal political dynamics within the country. blesk.cz ↗ hlavnespravy.sk ↗
