IDF spokesperson Brig. Gen. Avichay Adraee wrote in Persian that “after the elimination of the tyrant Khamenei, the Iranian terror regime is trying to reorganize and choose a new Supreme Leader. The Iranian Assembly of Experts, which has not convened in forty years, is expected to meet soon in Qom."

"I want to emphasize that Israel’s long arm will continue to pursue the successor and anyone attempting to appoint him. We warn all planners participating in the session to select the successor: we will not hesitate to strike you as well," he concluded.
