Video shows ruins of Iran's Expediency Council building after strikes

Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council on Mirdamad Street in Tehran was destroyed after being targeted in an airstrike on Monday, footage released by Iranian media showed.

The council is a powerful state body that selects the clerical member of the Interim Leadership Council and makes the final decisions on five key issues until a new Supreme Leader is elected:

1- Determining the general policies of the Islamic Republic
2- Ordering a referendum
3- Declaring war or peace
4- Dismissing the president
5- Appointing or dismissing the chief of the Joint Staff, the commander-in-chief of the IRGC, and senior military and law enforcement commanders
