"Israel Threatens To Target Successor to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Warns Assembly of Experts"

This dropped from a feedreader about ten minutes ago.

From India's TimesNowNews, MAR 08, 2026 13:55 IST:

Israel has issued a fresh warning to Iran’s leadership, saying it will target anyone who succeeds the country’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, who it claims was killed in joint US-Israeli strikes on February 28.

In a message posted in Farsi on social media, the Israeli military said it would pursue not only any future successor but also those involved in the process of appointing the next leader. The warning specifically referenced the Assembly of Experts, the clerical body responsible for selecting Iran’s supreme leader.
