Iran Mourns Leader, Braces for Transition of Power
Iran's foreign minister suggests a new supreme leader may be chosen within days as the country enters a critical period of transition and resistance against the US and Israel.
Iran is in a period of transition and mourning following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with officials suggesting a new leader may be chosen within days. Abbas Araghchi, Iran's deputy foreign minister, stated that the constitutional process for selecting a new supreme leader is already underway.
Khamenei, who had served as Iran's top religious and political authority since 1989, passed away at the age of 83 after a long illness. His death has sparked a flurry of activity as the Islamic Republic prepares for a new era of leadership. Araghchi emphasized that Iran will continue its resistance against the United States and Israel, vowing that the country's revolutionary path will remain unchanged.
