As tensions escalate between Israel and Iran amidst an ongoing conflict, the process of selecting Iran's next Supreme Leader has come into focus. Iran's Assembly of Experts, comprised of 88 clerics, holds the constitutional authority to appoint the Supreme Leader.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated that he would influence the decision by choosing a leader who aligns with his views, further complicating the already intricate dynamics. The implications of this leadership transition are significant, given the strategic importance of Iran in regional politics and its contentious relationship with Israel.
