Who Might Become Iran’s Next Supreme Leader, and How the Selection Works
Amid a US-Israel campaign framed as aiming for regime change, Iran faces a leadership crisis after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is reported killed. Under Iran’s constitution, the 88-member Assembly of Experts—candidates tightly vetted by the Guardian Council—selects the next supreme leader, likely favoring a hardline continuity figure backed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps rather than a moderate. Potential names mentioned include Khamenei’s son Mojtaba Khamenei, Hassan Khomeini, and senior cleric Alireza Arafi, who also sits on an interim three-person council with President Masoud Pezeshkian and judiciary chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i while succession timing remains uncertain. Meanwhile, the IRGC is driving Iran’s war posture, escalating regional tensions and straining ties with Gulf states as the conflict’s duration and economic fallout loom.
