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.

If I were them, I would pick one but not tell anyone what his name is. They could say “The Ayatollah who cannot be named”..
I hear the jet engines warming up on the tarmac as we speak.
Twenty four hours? Geez. How long does it take to get three Iranian muzzies together to chose a new “leader?”
The new Supreme Leader is Ayatollah Incognito...
How about ,,,,,,,,,Ayatollah Zilch?
I can see it right now, they picked a new one, and he’s like “who said I want be the ayatollah?, what about Muhammad over there? He’d do it much better than I would! That black towel looks much better wrapped around his head than mine,”
He won’t be alive in 48 hours.
Whack a mole..

"If I were them, I would pick one but not tell anyone what his name is. They could say “The Ayatollah who cannot be named”.."
I wish they would pick Mamdani.
LOL ... everyone’s pointing fingers at each other saying .... NOT ME!!
Or “The Ayatollah Formerly Known As...”
Hahahahahahahahah! Excellent!
There were no applicants .
Ayatollah You So.
I can’t wait for the Bee to weigh in.
I wish they would pick Mamdani.
LOL! Maybe we can do a nomination petition for him.
We’d have millions of signatures in no time!
That isn't a torch, it's a lit stick of dynamite. Personally I might be a little gun-shy at this point...
