Iran’s Assembly of Experts member Ayatollah Mohammad-Mahdi Mirbagheri stated that the country’s deliberative body managed to reach a “decisive and unanimous opinion, which is the opinion of the majority” on who will be the successor to the country’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (pictured), Mehr news agency reported on Sunday. According to the report, Mirbagheri said that there are still “some obstacles” that need to be resolved regarding the process, but that “great efforts to determine the leadership” have been made. “The delay in electing the third leader is bitter and unwanted for everyone, and there is no alternative, so we should not have bad thoughts about our representatives at this difficult time,” the representative of Zanjan in the Assembly of Experts, Hojjatoleslam Jafari, said.
