Iran’s foreign minister says a new supreme leader will be chosen in ‘one or two days’

Iran established a three-member transition council to manage supreme leader duties after assassination, with a new leader expected within two days amid escalating regional conflict.

  • Iran's interim governing council assumed control recently to manage state affairs until a new supreme leader is chosen, as the country prepares for leadership transition.
  • The U.S. and Israel carried out the attack that removed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, after weeks of rising tensions and a recent military build-up in recent weeks.
  • Iran retaliated with missile and drone strikes against Israel and Gulf states, killing at least seven and injuring more than 120, while interceptions disrupted flights and caused deaths in Abu Dhabi.
  • Iran's parliamentary speaker warned `You have crossed our red line and must pay the price,' and Trump stated `THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT,' warning of escalation.
  • Public reactions ranged from rooftop rejoicing to formal mourning and a government-declared holiday, with mourners raising a black flag at the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad and protests storming the U.S. consulate in Karachi on Sunday.
