Decision on Khamenei successor may be delayed until next week - IRGC outlet
The final, in-person session of Iran’s Assembly of Experts to choose a new leader may be postponed until after next week’s funeral and burial for the slain leader, the IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency reported, citing heightened security measures.
Iran’s Assembly of Experts has now shifted its meetings to a remote format and adopted an alternative voting method due to security considerations and concerns over the safety of its members, the report added citing informed sources.
According to the source, regular deliberations are continuing in a secure environment, and the final stages of the process are underway.
Khamenei did not designate a successor, leaving the decision to the Assembly of Experts, the IRGC outlet said citing the unnamed source.
