Iran’s ‘dare to Trump’ moment? New Ayatollah to be named within hours, IDF readies big strike

Iran’s powerful Assembly of Experts has reportedly chosen a successor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei after his assassination, though the name has not yet been disclosed. The move comes amid rising tensions as Israel warns it will pursue anyone involved in installing a new leader, signalling the succession battle could become the next flashpoint in the war. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly weighed in on the succession debate, opposing the possible elevation of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s next supreme leader.
