Iran: Iran’s foreign minister has announced that a new supreme leader will be chosen in ‘one or two days.’ The announcement comes in the wake of the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had held power for nearly 37 years. The sudden death of Khamenei has raised significant questions about the nation’s future direction and leadership.
According to United News of Bangladesh, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that a new leadership council has already begun its work following the assassination of Khamenei. The assassination occurred during an airstrike campaign executed by the United States and Israel, marking a significant shift in the geopolitical landscape of the region.
The process of selecting a new supreme leader is complex and has started to unfold swiftly following Khamenei’s death. The nation and its allies are closely watching this transition, which carries implications not only for Iran but also for the broader Middle East region.
