The office of the Iranian Supreme Leader's election body was attacked.

IRNA reported on the 3rd that Israel and the United States jointly attacked the office building of the Assembly of Experts in Qom, Iran. In addition, an area near Tehran's Revolution Square in Iran was also subjected to an air strike.

Although the headquarters of the Assembly of Experts is located in Tehran, many members of the Assembly of Experts live in Qom.

The Assembly of Experts is the highest authority responsible for electing, supervising, and removing the Supreme Leader of Iran. The Iranian Constitution stipulates that in the event of the death, resignation, or removal of the Supreme Leader, the Assembly of Experts should promptly select a new Supreme Leader. The Constitution establishes the Assembly of Experts as a permanent institution, composed of 88 jurists and religious scholars elected by public vote. The election of the Assembly of Experts is held every 8 years.
