据伊朗媒体报道，伊朗专家会议周六宣布，将在“一天内”召开会议，选举接替前最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊的新领导人。

据报道，专家会议88名成员之一的阿亚图拉·穆扎法里证实了会议将举行。

此前，据《耶路撒冷邮报》援引以色列消息人士报道，以色列国防军周二袭击了专家会议所在的建筑，该会议旨在选举伊朗伊斯兰共和国的下一任最高领袖。

伊朗新闻机构称，位于库姆的专家会议大楼已被“夷为平地”。

隶属于伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队的塔斯尼姆通讯社证实，专家会议位于库姆的建筑遭到袭击，其位于德黑兰（原议会所在地）的办公楼也在夜间遭到袭击。

据伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队旗下的法尔斯通讯社报道，在最高领袖会议使用的两座办公楼均遭到以色列国防军袭击后，新的最高领袖将通过线上会议选出。

法尔斯通讯社报道称，88名最高领袖会议成员中的一人保证，新领袖“很快就会选出”。

据伊朗国际通讯社报道，最高领袖会议内部对于是否宣布哈梅内伊的次子穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊为伊朗新任最高领袖存在分歧。

据报道，从周二清晨开始，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队在全国各地的指挥官就通过一系列会议和电话活动，向成员施压，要求他们投票支持穆杰塔巴，直至会议开始前几分钟。

伊朗国家通讯社伊通社（IRNA）报道称，由于尚未确定正式的最高领袖，任命和罢免军官以及宣战的权力已移交给临时领导委员会。

Iran’s Assembly of Experts announced on Saturday that it would “meet within a day” to select the new leader to succeed former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iranian media reported.

Ayatollah Mozafari, one of the 88 members of the assembly, reportedly confirmed that the meeting would take place.

The report comes after the IDF on Tuesday targeted the building in which the Assembly of Experts was meeting to choose the Islamic Republic’s next supreme leader, Israeli sources told The Jerusalem Post.Iranian news agencies said the structure in Qom was “flattened.”Tasnim, a media outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), confirmed that the Assembly’s compound in Qom had been struck and that its building in Tehran, located at the former parliament site, was also hit overnight.According to a report by IRGC-linked Fars News, the new supreme leader was going to be selected via virtual meetings, after both buildings used by the assembly were struck by the IDF.

One of the 88 members assured that a new leader would “be selected soon,” Fars reported.

According to a report by Iran International, the assembly is divided over plans to announce Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of Khamenei, as the new supreme leader of Iran.From early Tuesday, IRGC commanders across the country reportedly pressured members to vote for Mojtaba through a campaign of meetings and phone calls until minutes before the assembly began.

Without firm leadership yet decided, the authority to appoint and dismiss military officials and to declare war has been transferred to the Interim Leadership Council, Iranian state news agency IRNA reported.
