Tehran — The building of Iran’s constitutional body responsible for selecting the country’s Supreme Leader, known as the Assembly of Experts, has reportedly been targeted in an Israeli attack.
According to emerging reports, the strike occurred while members of the council were engaged in proceedings related to the selection of a successor to Iran’s Supreme Leader. The Assembly of Experts consists of 88 clerical members who hold the constitutional authority to appoint and oversee the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic.
Sources claim that not all members were present at the time of the incident, but the attack allegedly took place during a critical phase of the leadership selection process. There has been no immediate independent confirmation regarding casualties or the extent of damage to the building.
The Assembly of Experts plays a central role in Iran’s political system. Under Iran’s constitution, it is the only body empowered to choose the Supreme Leader, making it one of the most influential institutions in the country.
If confirmed, the strike would mark a significant escalation in regional tensions, as it would represent a direct attack on one of Iran’s highest constitutional institutions during a sensitive political transition.
Neither Israeli nor Iranian authorities have issued detailed official statements confirming the full circumstances of the incident at the time of reporting. Further verification from independent and international sources is awaited.
