Iran names interim leadership after Khamenei killing

Iran has named an interim leadership as it responds to the strike that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. State television reported the selection, outlining the framework for a temporary government ahead of a broader succession plan.

The interim leadership is aimed at stabilizing governance and maintaining continuity within the top echelons of Iran’s political and religious establishment. The announcement comes amid heightened security measures and regional tensions following the attack.

Details on the interim leaders and the timeline for a permanent succession were not immediately disclosed, with officials emphasizing the move as an emergency measure to preserve state functions.
