Exit Of Iranian Supreme Leader: 3 individuals are now in charge of Iran's Affairs
Under Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, if the Supreme Leader dies, the Assembly of Experts is responsible for selecting the new Leader. Until then, authority transfers to a provisional leadership council — typically consisting of the President, the Head of the Judiciary, and a jurist from the Guardian Council.
This transition phase is critical, as it determines both internal power balance and regional stability
The Iranian Constitution states:
The Assembly of Experts (consisting of 88 experts) is the body that selects the new Leader, but until that time, power transfers to the "Provisional Leadership," which is a committee of 3 individuals: the President of the Republic + the Head of the Judiciary + a jurist from the Guardian Council. This committee assumes certain duties until the new Leader is selected
Iranian state TV reportedly announces the death of Ali Khamenei.
US and Israeli intelligence sources earlier confirmed the assassination of the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran along up to 10 other Iranian leaders.
A moment the Islamic Republic likely never anticipated. On Iran in the aftermath of Khamenei's death
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, the judiciary chief and a jurist from the Guardian Council will temporarily assume leadership duties following reports of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's death, Iranian media said on Sunday.
-The Iranian government declared a 40-day mourning period after reports of Khamenei's death, according to Fars News Agency.
Mohammad Pakpour, IRGC chief commander, was killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes on Saturday, Iranian media IRNA reported.
Previously before his death, Imam Khamenei addressing the families of the martyrs said:
"Let me say to you openly: whenever I think that this war, these martyrdoms, and these arenas of honor and blood might come to an end, and that we might remain, only to one day die in an ordinary way, perhaps in an accident, as so many do, or from an illness, by God, the mere thought of it places such pressure upon my heart.
To be deprived of an arena that is a contest for eternal and divine honor, a race toward Paradise, and then simply to die in the usual way; this is very difficult.
Would that our death might be like the death of your children, this is a prayer that rises from the depths of our hearts.
And I do not believe there is anyone who truly understands the reality of such a death and does not long for it."
