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.

Will the next victim ... uh, nominee respond with “Although I am honored by this, I cannot accept because ... because ... I converted to Judaism yesterday. Yeah, that’s it. L’chaim and mazel tov to you” (switches turban for a kippah and runs for the door before the bomb drops.
They must be running out of short straws!
So do I.
This is funny. Pick a new one in 24 hours and he’ll be dead in 48.
Iran isn’t picking anyone as leader at the moment; a ring of brutal despotic terrorists actually worthy of all the epithets the American Democrat
party slings around is in the process of choosing their next sacrificial goat. This has nothing to do with the people of Iran / Persia.
Hopefully they have a deep bench.
And then 24 hours after that.
(If he can locate him he might take some lessons from #12 about maintaining a secure bug-out spot and avoiding attention by keeping silent!)
Maybe they didn’t get the memo. There should be no more “supreme leaders”. The era of supreme leaders is over.
“President Trump said Motjaba’s appointment would be “unacceptable” for the US and would not bring an end to the new war.
“They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight,” Trump said this week.
“We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran.” “
Well, they can’t say they haven’t been warned.
"Maybe don't call yourself "ayatollah".
He's a "grave half-full" kinda guy.
You are correct sir.
The new title is: Supreme Leader For a Day.
“Just think, tomorrow you get 72 virgins!”
Reminds me of Psalm 2:1 and “why do the heathen rage”?
In these last days I want all to bow in repentance to The Lord - why is this so difficult?
Pick in 24 hours. Picked off in 25.
Their deeds were evil.
