The IDF will continue to pursue every successor to Iran's next supreme leader, the military wrote on X in Farsi on Sunday morning.
"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," the IDF wrote.
We warn all those who intend to participate in the successor selection meeting that we will not hesitate to target you, either. This is a warning!"
Iran reaches majority consensus over new Supreme Leader
Mehr news agency reported on Sunday that Assembly of Experts member Ayatollah Mohammadmehdi Mirbagheri said a majority consensus over a successor to Iran's former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has more or less been reached.
He said, though, that "some obstacles" need to be resolved regarding the process, according to the report.
Iranian media said the body tasked with appointing Iran's supreme leader had a minor disagreement over whether their final decision must follow an in-person meeting or instead be issued without adhering to this formality.

Who is supposed to surrender if there is no leader?

We are going to learn an important answer here; hypothetically, if an enemy nation were to keep taking out every chain of command of a stable nation like USA, China, India, France etc etc, how long would it take to actually break them.

Does anyone else have the feeling that Israel and the US want different things here? Israel is doing one thing, while the US is doing another and also changing the story every time they make a statement.
