In the ongoing Israel-Iran war, Iran may postpone the election of its next Supreme Leader following the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in U.S.-Israeli strikes. Reports from Iranian media indicate that security concerns and the leader’s funeral and burial rites could delay the Assembly of Experts’ final vote to choose a successor past the originally anticipated date. An interim leadership council is currently steering the country until a new leader is selected.
