The second meeting of Iran’s three-member Interim Leadership Council was held in Tehran on Monday, as authorities move to run the government following the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini in joint US–Israeli air strikes, Iranian state media reported.

Iranian leadership has begun the process of selecting Khamenei’s successor, while US President Donald Trump has vowed to continue the operation until its targets are achieved.
According to Article 111 of Iran’s Constitution, a temporary leadership council is authorised to assume the supreme leader’s duties until a successor is elected.
