The Israeli air force struck a top Iranian meeting on Tuesday where Tehran’s senior clerics had gathered to select a replacement for slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to multiple reports.

The Assembly of Experts, made up of 88 top clerics, were together in the holy city of Qom when an airstrike hit their building overnight, the Times of Israel reported.

The strike came just as the mullahs were counting the votes to appoint the next supreme leader, according to Fox News.

It remains unclear how many members of the assembly were attending the vote when the building was hit.

If a Mullah is blown in half does his vote count as two votes?

It was unknown how the body voted, but a cloud of black smoke

So now these guys are trying to copy the Vatican? They couldn't even get that right. Sheesh! So what does black smoke mean?

If selecting the Pope, the black smoke means no one was selected as voted by the body.

In my case, the black smoke referenced the building being blown up

If we run out of missiles before Iran, we won't even get the deal we got before this war began.

What is this "deal" you speak of? They never stopped enriching uranium, they never stopped chanting "death to America. Please share what this amazing deal we got was. I think that most FReepers may have missed it. I think that we are getting a pretty good deal right now.

America: Iran, please stop uranium enrichment.

BOOM!

Iran: We have no more centrifuges or stockpiles.

America, please stop your missile production.

BOOM

Iran, okay we have no more factories.

Plus they are currently reducing their military and all of the Mullahs are dropping out of running for office since Ali Khamenei stepped down. Just ask the Assembly of Experts. They will tell you. Oh, maybe not.

So what was that deal that you were talking about again?

Please continue to gather all your members in one place.

Reminds me of the first few weeks after Special Forces entered Afghanistan. They noticed that when they were bombing a specific location, nearby, other Taliban would come out to watch. Those "watchers" became the next target.

“something tells me that this might be the last time “top clerics” gather together in one place ...”

Since they’re almost certainly all dead, I think you are correct.

However, there is this from Amir Tsarfati’s Telegram account.

Apparently a new leader was selected. There’s this quote from his account.....

“Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the Supreme Leader, is ten times more dangerous than his father.
• He is the guardian who never leaves his father’s shadow.
• He runs his father’s office.
• He is the one who tweets from his father’s account.
• He is very close to the leaders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Quds Force, and the Basij.
• He is the one who orders the execution of protesters.
• He is the one who shut down the internet, against Pezeshkian’s wishes.
• He is the most influential figure in Iran.
• He is the man before whom Qassem Soleimani used to bow.
• He is the most dangerous man in Iran.”

metmom: So now Israel knows who to go after next.

They should go to a Learing Center. Don’t they have those in Iran?
