Iran Names New Supreme Leader Amid Escalating Gulf Strikes

                                            Ayatollah Khamenei was killed in strikes last weekend

Iran has selected a new supreme leader as the conflict engulfing the Gulf intensifies, marking a pivotal moment in a rapidly escalating regional war. According to senior Iranian officials, the Assembly of Experts has chosen a successor following the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in an Israeli strike last week, though the identity of the new leader has not yet been revealed. 

The announcement comes as Iran, the U.S., and Israel enter the ninth day of hostilities, with missile and drone attacks continuing across the Gulf. Regional states—including the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait—report ongoing damage to critical infrastructure as Iranian projectiles strike civilian and government sites. 

The leadership vacuum in Tehran has heightened tensions, with Israel signaling it may target any successor while Iran vows further retaliation. As diplomacy stalls and military exchanges intensify, global leaders warn that the conflict risks spiraling further without immediate de-escalation.
