Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Irans supreme leader for 37 years, has been assassinated in a surprise attack by the US and Israel. A provisional council, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, Judiciary head Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, and senior cleric Ayatollah Ali Reza Arafi, is leading the country. The Assembly of Experts, consisting of 88 Shiite clerics, will choose the new leader, likely from a pool of contenders including Khameneis son Mojtaba, hard-liners like Ayatollah Mohammed Mehdi Mirbagheri, and moderates such as former President Hassan Rouhani. As Iran navigates its worst crisis in decades, all eyes are on the selection process.
