Israel attacks 88 members during a meeting to choose Khamenei’s successor

Fox News revealed on Tuesday that Israel targeted a meeting of the Assembly of Experts during a session dedicated to choosing a new Supreme Leader in Iran.

Other media outlets reported that Israel attacked 88 members of the Assembly of Experts in Tehran during a meeting to choose a successor to Ali Khamenei.

In contrast, the Iranian news agency Mehr reported that “the Assembly of Experts building was empty at the moment it was targeted by Israeli aircraft, and no injuries occurred.”

In contrast, Fars News Agency quoted a spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Defense confirming that “Tehran has put in place a mechanism for pre-arranged leadership alternatives,” noting that “at least three levels of replacements have been appointed for each leader, to ensure the continuity of leadership and prevent any institutional vacuum.”

The United States and Israel launched a war on Iran last Saturday, targeting top Iranian leaders, starting with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, his advisor Ali Shamkhani, and military leaders such as the Minister of Defense and the commander of the Revolutionary Guard, through hundreds of missile strikes and suicide drone attacks.

In turn, Iran responded by targeting Israel and American bases in the Gulf states and the Kurdistan region, and then began bombing towers and airports in some Gulf states such as the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain.
