Earlier, many international publications reported that Iranian authorities had allegedly already appointed Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader. However, as Ayatollah Hossein Mozaffari stated, a meeting of the Assembly of Experts to elect a new Supreme Leader is to take place within 24 hours.
“Members of the Assembly of Experts are eagerly awaiting when conditions will allow for a meeting to discuss and choose a new Supreme Leader and successor to the martyr Imam. We hope this will happen in the next 24 hours,” the agency Fars quoted the Ayatollah as saying.
He also noted that until now, the Assembly of Experts has not held any meetings and urged the citizens of Iran not to succumb to rumors about the appointment of a new leader of the country.
At the same time, there has been no confirmation regarding Mojtaba Khamenei's injuries so far.
