03/04 03:45

on the night of the 3rd, Iran's Fars News Agency, citing informed sources, reported that the election of Iran's Supreme Leader may be postponed until next week. The sources said that the highest level of security measures have been taken to ensure the smooth election of the Supreme Leader by the Assembly of Experts. The election may be held in person after the funeral of the late Supreme Leader Khamenei. An earlier report from Iran's Fars News Agency confirmed that the office building of the Assembly of Experts in Qom, south of Tehran, Iran's capital, was attacked by Israel that day, but no meeting was held in the office building at that time. For security reasons, the members of the Assembly of Experts voted in absentia. The report also stated that the voting was conducted orderly in a secure environment and emphasized that the election is in its final stages and the results may be announced soon. Videos released by Iranian media show that the office building of the Assembly of Experts has been completely reduced to rubble. Some Israeli media reported that members of the Assembly of Experts were holding a meeting to elect the new Supreme Leader at the time of the attack, and the attack occurred during the vote counting, with not all members present. Khamenei was killed on February 28 in attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran. According to a report by Iran's Fars News Agency on the 3rd, Khamenei will be buried in the holy city of Mashhad, Iran, with the funeral date yet to be announced. The Assembly of Experts is the highest authority responsible for electing, supervising, and dismissing Iran's Supreme Leader. (Zhitong Finance)
