🔹Following the martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei in the US and Israeli attacks, the Islamic regime has entered the stage of electing a leader. Contrary to the hostile media that is trying to portray chaos in the country, the capacity of the Iranian constitution is such that there is no deadlock and all conditions have been foreseen. 

Based on Article 111 of the constitution, immediately after this incident, the interim leadership council, consisting of the president (Masoud Pezzekian), the head of the judiciary (Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei), and one of the jurists of the Guardian Council (Ayatollah Alireza Aarafi) convened a meeting and took over the administration of the country’s affairs.

🔹In recent days, news has been published about the targeting of the Assembly of Experts building.  *The news that was published about the attack on the Assembly of Experts building in Qom was true, but basically, no meeting was held at that location.* Due to security concerns and to protect the lives of the representatives, the experts have continued their meetings in absentia and with a different method of voting. 

Informed sources report that the negotiations are being held regularly in a safe environment and emphasize that the final stages are underway and that the result of the election of the new leader may be announced soon.*

🔹 The members of the experts, who are directly elected by the people and are responsible for choosing the leader, had previously privately discussed various options during the negotiations of the 107th Expert Commission, which is responsible for systematically reviewing the index and possible leadership options. 

It is said that this round of negotiations is being pursued quickly and without wasting time, and some members have reported that the future leader will be chosen “very quickly”.

🔹One of the fundamental questions of public opinion is: “ Did our martyred leader introduce an individual or individuals as successor options during his lifetime? ” In response to this question, informed sources say that *Ayatollah Khamenei did not specify any options and left the task to experts.

🔹However, over the years, he outlined indicators for future leadership. Among these indicators are anti-arrogance, courage, and integrity, along with other common conditions such as justice, awareness of time, and management power.

🔹In a situation where foreign enemies, led by the United States, are seeking to destabilize the atmosphere and induce a power vacuum in Iran, the mechanism foreseen in the constitution is working with force. – @NewsSA_Online
