Iranian body to meet within a day to choose next supreme leader, local media says A member of Iran's Assembly of Experts said Saturday the body would meet within a day to choose the country's next supreme leader, Iranian media reported.

The statement came a week after the killing of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US-Israeli attack.
