IDF says it will pursue those who meet to appoint successor of Iran’s Khamenei, as well as successor himself

The Israeli military warns it will continue pursuing every successor of Iran’s slain supreme leader.

In a post on X in Persian, the Israeli military warns it will also pursue every person who seeks to appoint a successor for ayatollah Ali Khamenei, referring to the clerical body charged with choosing the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader.

“After neutralizing the tyrant Khamenei, the terrorist regime of Iran is attempting to rebuild itself and select a new leader,” the IDF’s post reads.

“Iran’s Assembly of Experts, which has not convened for decades, will soon gather in the city of Qom. We want to tell you that the hand of the State of Israel will continue to pursue every successor and every person who seeks to appoint a successor,” warns the military. “We warn all those who intend to participate in the successor selection meeting that we will not hesitate to target you either.”
