Follow up on the strike on the Assembly of Experts in Qom

By Bernie,

Follow up on the strike on the Assembly of Experts in Qom: Israel struck the building while members of the 88-seat council were casting ballots to elect a new Supreme Leader. Not all members were present, but the attack occurred during the vote counting process. The strike effectively targeted Iran's constitutional mechanism for selecting a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whose death was confirmed earlier in the operation.
