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.

“Who drew the short straw?”
Looks like they ALL did. Lol!
“It remains unclear how many members of the assembly were attending the vote when the building was hit.”
I bet the guy they sent out for coffee is happy to count his blessings instead of virgins.
There is no chance the Iranian people are going to accept a US friendly government after killing their religious leaders and after a missile killed 160 elementary age girls at a school. The majority hate our guts and Israel.
Any regime would require boots on the ground, occupation and mass causalities and result in Trump being Richard Nixon in his second term.
Leaving without a regime change, will likely result in Iran forming even closer military relations with China and Russia. Iran will be given an even bigger arsenal of weapons from both.
If we run out of missiles before Iran, we won't even get the deal we got before this war began.
Isn’t there a possibility that online meetings would be just as bad? They would be traceable.
The Bible says there will be wars and rumors of wars, then the end shall come. We are getting closer.
LOL
No, not at all.
We are happy to annouce the next holy leader is Achmed the Window Washer. Here is your armored turban Achmed, bye!
I would think the odds would be better. 88 bombs instead of 1
My guess is the internet was shut down when other comms were obliterated. Some videos are getting out, but not much.
Bannon's second guest was a big DeSantis guy in 2024. No surprise that the guy was trashing Trump's Iran plan.
Bannon's third guest on now, is contradicting the Desantis guy.
Bannon has been having guests on from both sides of Trump's Iran strategy.
What’s that sound ?
“were together in the holy city of Qom when an airstrike hit their building overnight”
Holy Shiite!
Now it’s even more holier!
You know what?!
I propose that Iran has a celebration, called “The great Burq-off”!
C’mon you Iranian gals! Let’s get Vogue’n
