WNAM REPORT: A member of Iran’s Assembly of Experts, which will elect a new Supreme Leader, says the process “will not be lengthy”, according to the ISNA agency.
Ali Moalemi said the members of the Assembly of Experts have sworn that in choosing the new leader, “personal preferences” for individuals or political and party factions would “not be a factor” and that they will vote based on their judgement and in accordance with religious principles.
“The Assembly of Experts will, as in the past, select a personality like the martyred Leader of the Revolution,” he said, referring to the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a US-Israel strike on Saturday morning.
