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.

It was unknown how the body voted, but a cloud of black smoke was seen billowing from the remains of the building.

These guys are so dumb they figured they didn’t need to meet via ZOOM or TEAMS.

They have the support of the democrats. So they can still vote for the next Supreme Leader even after they are dead.

If this keeps up, they are going to run short of 72 Virginians for each Muslim decedent. They may have to supplement the 72 with some Kentuckians. Things in the afterlife are probably not going as they expected.

“These guys are so dumb they figured they didn’t need to meet via ZOOM or TEAMS.”

Not sure being online is a great idea either.

So, it's not just Khamenei that is evil, its all the mullahs that are and they won't be allowed to pick another leader?

That's a major problem given that 90% of the Iranian population is Shia.

The vast majority are Shia and hate us and Israel.

There is a better chance of winning the Powerball lottery than a US friendly regime emerging from all this.
