Iran is reportedly expected to meet and possibly choose its next supreme leader in the next 24 hours.
Ayatollah Mozaffari, a member of Iran’s 88-member Assembly of Experts, expressed hope that a session could take place over the next day, though no official meeting has been scheduled, according to Iranian International.
The election will take place virtually after the building used by the Assembly of Experts was destroyed in Israeli strikes earlier this week.
The Tuesday attack “flattened” the IRGC’s compound in Qom, as well as a building in Tehran that served as the previous parliament site, The Jerusalem Post reported.
The next supreme leader will be plucked from the 88-member Assembly of Experts.
Sources told the outlet Mojtaba Khamenei was expected to be announced as the new leader on Saturday, but 14 members of the Assembly of Experts boycotted the session.
Motjaba, the second son of slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, is favored by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, but some Assembly members have reportedly raised issues over passing the torch to the longtime ayatollah’s son.
Motjaba has been known for his staunch adherence to his father’s hardline conservatism and anti-Western sentiments.

Among those boycotting the session was Mojtaba Khamenei, who issued the following statement: "I don't think so!"
“Iran could pick its next supreme leader in the next 24 hours”
**************
And lose him in the following 24 hours.
😂
Moslems are not 90% of the Iranian population. Not even close
That will be fun. Incidentally, I was contacted earlier by the Assembly of Experts and named the new supreme leader of Iran. I hereby order all Iranian military to stand down and surrender unconditionally and cooperate in facilitating a transitional government headed by Reza Pahlavi. Of course you can ignore my orders, but I will then order you court-martialed and shot, and as you have absolutely no evidence to contest my claim to the leadership of Iran your inaction will be indefensible.
All factions of Muslims were down to around 36% of the Iranian population in the last polling I saw on the subject, from around 2021. It’s a safe bet it is lower now.
Kick the tires, and light the fires.
1,2,3 not it!
What about the one after that?
Most data shows it is 98%, 90% Shia.
Where are you getting your information?
Anyway, that wasn’t the point of the post - just highlighting that poster’s bizarre rationale.
Is it Lord Humangus?
What is wrong with this announcement?
[Iran is reportedly expected to meet and possibly choose its next supreme leader in the next 24 hours.]
Yeah, “Next! Don’t get comfortable.”
will next surrender?
if not... they better have another lined up after him
Wait...there’s still 88?
And bury him in 36.
And again, In 48 to 72 hours
A while when we are really good at whack a mole
The role of next Ayatollah is a sentence handed down by a Iranian court
Rather optimistic to think there will be enough left to bury aren’t you?
